Jim Cree was one of the early indigenous Hockey players that competed against professional players, He played for the Cleveland Athletic Club which used the Elysium Arena for their home games.
The Cleveland team played in the United States Amateur Hockey Association / USAHA, which was for amateur teams, but many of these teams were known to have paid players. There is no evidence that Cree was paid to play, so we will keep his status as amateur.
