1889 Ottawa Hockey Club season

Last updated

The 1889 Ottawa Hockey Club season was the fourth season of play of the Ottawa Hockey Club. The Ottawa Hockey Club re-organized after the opening of the Rideau Skating Rink, after playing no competitive games in the 1888 winter season.

Rideau Skating Rink

The Rideau Skating Rink was an indoor skating and curling facility located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Consisting of a curling rink and a skating rink, it was one of the first indoor rinks in Canada. The Rideau Rink was scheduled to open on January 10, 1889, but unseasonably mild weather postponed the grand opening to February 1. It opened in January 25, 1889 for select V.I.P's although this was a misunderstanding and should not have denied entry to season ticket holders. It was located on Theodore Street, at Waller Street, at the present location of the Arts Hall of the University of Ottawa, near the Rideau Canal.
