The Canadian Hockey Association was an early men's professional Ice hockey league The CHA, however, would only last one month before being absorbed into the much more powerful National Hockey Association (NHA). The National Hockey Association (NHA(officially the National Hockey Association of Canada Limited) was a professional Ice hockey organization with teams in Ontario Unsure if they wanted to join the NHA, the Bulldogs sat out the inaugural 1910 season. The 1910 NHA season was the first season of the National Hockey Association men's Ice hockey league The following season, 1910–11, the Bulldogs took over the defunct Cobalt Silver Kings franchise, but had a rough initiation, finishing dead last with 4 wins and 12 losses in a 16 game season.

The 1911–12 NHA season was the third season of the now defunct National Hockey Association.

Fortunately for Quebec, and unfortunately for Victoria, the Stanley Cup Board of trustees did not recognise the challenge by the Aristocrats as being official and the Bulldogs were able to keep the Cup.
The following seasons would see the Bulldogs drop from the top of the league. They would finish third overall in each of the next three seasons and in the last NHA season (1916–17) went second overall. After their two Stanley Cup wins, though, they would never again challenge for the Cup.

Before the 1920–21 season, the NHL took back the franchise, and sold it to Hamilton owners who moved the team to Hamilton where it became the Tigers. This helped to head off a potential competing league from setting up in Hamilton. [4]
