The Bears were a team featuring four imported Canadians who played challenge matches against the other Sydney-based clubs. They created a lot of controversy with their rough style of play, leading to a scheduled match against Glaciarium being cancelled by the New South Wales Association. Many players and enthusiasts did not approve of how the situation was handled, and a new Australian Amateur Ice Hockey Association was created in opposition. The NSW Association then responded by suspending the Bears.
