In 1912, Stanley Cup trustees declared that the Cup was only to be defended at the end of the champion team's regular season. As a result, anyone who wanted to challenge for the Stanley Cup had to wait until the 1911–12 NHA season concluded. When it ended, the Ottawa HC finished in second place, with a 9–9 record, behind the Quebec Bulldogs, who posted a 10–8 record to take the NHA league championship and take over the Stanley Cup. The Bulldogs then went on to sweep the Moncton Victorias of the Maritime Professional Hockey League / MPHL in a best-of-three Cup challenge series, with 9–3 and 8–0 victories.
The 1912–13 NHA season ended with Quebec Bulldogs repeating as league champions. The Bulldogs then played a two-game total goals Stanley Cup challenge series versus the Sydney Millionaires of the Maritime Professional Hockey League / MPHL, with Quebec winning 20 goals to 5. Joe Malone scored 9 goals as he led the Bulldogs to a 14–3 win in the first game. Quebec then won the second by a score of 6–2, with Joe Hall earning a hat trick.
