The North Avenue Ice Palace in Baltimore became the indoor artificial ice rink in North America when it opened on December 26, 1894. The first game was played two days later, Johns Hopkins University tying the Baltimore Athletic Club 2-2. The Baltimore Hockey League began play in January 1895 and ran until 1898. Teams to play in the league included Johns Hopkins, the Maryland Bicycle Club, Ariel Rowing Club, Baltimore Athletic Club, University of Maryland, Northampton Hockey Club, Maryland Athletic Club, and the Walbrook Athletic Club. Though the North Avenue Ice Palace closed after the 1898 season, both the University of Maryland and a Baltimore Hockey Club paid visits to Philadelphia in December 1900 to face the Quaker City Hockey Club.

The Baltimore Amateur Ice Hockey League was formed, composed of the Forest Park Hockey Club, University of Maryland (Dental School), Green Spring Valley Club, Mount Washington Club, Johns Hopkins University, and the Walbrook Hockey Club.

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutters, composed of players who had enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in World War II, played in the EHL in 1942-43, and started the following season in the league, but withdrew on November 29 and played exhibition games for the remainder of the year.
