The team is notable for being a founding member of the [[National Hockey Association]], the predecessor to the [[National Hockey League]]. Established to capitalize on the then-current mining boom in northern Ontario, it became clear that the town was too small to support major professional hockey, and the team left the NHA after its inaugural season.<br /> The club was owned by Renfrew, Ontario mine operator Ambrose O'Brien.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The club was founded in 1906 in the [[Timiskaming Professional Hockey League]], an early professional ice hockey league. In 1909, the Cobalt Silver Kings won the [[O'Brien Trophy]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cobaltsilverkings.com/page.aspx/OBrien_Trophy|title=Silver Kings won O'Brien Trophy}}&lt;/ref&gt; as champions of the TPHL.<br /> <br /> In 1909, the club became part of the new [[National Hockey Association]] (NHA), along with another TPHL team, the [[Haileybury Comets]], the Federal League's [[Renfrew Creamery Kings]] and [[Montreal Canadiens|Les Canadiens]] and [[Montreal Wanderers|Wanderers]] of Montreal. The league was founded by Ambrose O'Brien to rival the [[Canadian Hockey Association (1909–1910)|Canadian Hockey Association]] (CHA), set up at the same time, and to provide a league for his Renfrew team to win the [[Stanley Cup]]. The CHA dissolved and two of its teams the [[Ottawa Senators (original)|Senators]] of Ottawa, and the [[Montreal Shamrocks|Shamrocks]] of Montreal joined the NHA.<br /> <br /> After the initial season, the club returned to play in the TPHL and its NHA franchise was taken over by the [[Quebec Bulldogs]] (formerly of the CHA).<br /> <br /> The team played in an arena with a capacity for 3,500 spectators.<br /> <br /> ==Notable players==<br /> * Ed Decarie - 1906-07<br /> * Howard McNamara - 1909–10<br /> * Bruce Ridpath - 1906-07, 1908–09<br /> <br /> '''Hall of Fame'''<br /> <br /> * Newsy Lalonde - 1906-07<br /> * Hugh Lehman - 1906-07<br /> * George McNamara - 1906–07<br /> * Didier Pitre - 1906-07<br /> * Art Ross - 1908–09<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ice hockey teams in Canada]]</div>
