Recap
The league would remain dormant until 1899 and the erection of a hockey rink at the Duquesne Gardens. The league was revived with three teams, the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, Pittsburgh Duquesne and Western University. The PAC won the league's first championship. The following season the Pittsburgh Bankers, which was composed entirely of bankers, were admitted to the league, while the Pittsburgh Athletic Club repeated as champions.
