Marie Marlboros player Billy Taylor.]]<br /> The '''Sault Ste. Marie Marlboros''', also known as the '''Canadian Soo''' and '''Soo Algonquins''', was a professional [[ice hockey]] team from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, [[Canada]]. It was the lone Canadian entry in the [[International Professional Hockey League|International Hockey League]] of 1904 - 1907, and one of the first, if not the first openly professional hockey teams in Canada.<br /> <br /> The league was formed at the Conference of Hockey Clubs in American Cities in Chicago, Illinoi] on November 5, 1904. The Canadian Soo was represented by J. P. Mooney and J. C. Boyd. The Canadian representatives presented a revenue sharing proposal at the meeting. The idea put forward was that gate receipts should be split 60/40 home/visiting team with a minimum guarantee also in place so that the visiting teams expenses would be met. The proposal was accepted and the league was formed.<br /> <br /> The Canadian Soo Marlboros first game was played against the [[Michigan Soo Indians|American Soo Indians]] on December 14, 1904 at the Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan Ridge Street Ice-A-Torium, the local curling club. The Canadian Soo played its first home game against the American Soo at the Sault, Ontario curling club on December 19, 1904.<br /> <br /> ==Notable players==<br /> Before the team folded in 1907, Newsy Lalonde, George McNamara and Marty Walsh played for the Soo. All would go on to play for [[Stanley Cup]] winning teams and would all also be inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * Sault Star - November 10, 1904, December 8, 1904<br /> *[https://circle.ubc.ca/bitstream/id/14482/ubc_1994-0531.pdf The Origins and Development of the International Hockey League and its effect on the Sport of Professional Ice Hockey in North America] Daniel Scott Mason, ''University of British Columbia'', 1992<br /> ===Notes===<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ice hockey teams in Canada]]</div>
