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.

There was a series contested between the Bears and Australian selection composed of players from New South Wales and Victoria. The matches were described as "Canada vs. Australia". The series was organized by the breakaway Australian Ice Athletics Association.[34]
