In September 1953, the British Ice Hockey association announced that in the upcoming season the Earls Court Rangers would not play.

The club's directors chose not to play that season because its headquarters, Empress Hall in London, was undergoing structural alterations.

The alterations were expected to take three months, but in fact the Empress Hall was never rebuilt and now Earls Court 2 and Lillie Road Bus and Tube Depot stand in its spot.

[2] Earl Nicholson, of Harringay Greyhounds, and Howie Peterson, of Earl's Court Rangers, were suspended on 31 December 1937 until 23 January 1938 for 26 days which was at the time the longest suspension awarded in British ice hockey[3] when both Canadian players "tried to take each other apart"[4] when Earls Court Rangers lost 4–2 against Harringay Greyhounds on 29 December 1937.

On 6 November 1937 Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy when visiting London saw Earls Court Rangers play against Harringay Racers.
