[1] Ownership of the Jubilee Rink played a significant role in the 1909 formation of the NHA.

In November 1909, the owner of the Eastern Canada Hockey Association (ECHA) Wanderers club announced he would move the team to the Jubilee, which he also owned.

[2] Before leaving the building, Gardner and O'Brien decided to form the NHA, which was finalized on December 2.

Poor ticket sales collapsed the CHA eight weeks after it was formed, and the popular ECHA/CHA Ottawa Hockey Club (reigning Stanley Cup champion) and Montreal Shamrocks immediately joined the seven-week-old NHA.

The site of the old arena is now occupied by industrial tenants bearing no reminder of the former hockey venue.
