history
The Haileybury Comets was accepted as a founding member of the Timiskaming Professional Hockey League in 1906 . In this they first played for three years, where they were financially supported by businessman Michael John O'Brien. After the team failed several times in their efforts to challenge the reigning Stanley Cup winner Ottawa Senators from the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association , its owner O'Brien founded the National Hockey Association in 1909 , of which Haileybury was one of five founding members, while the ECAHA was dissolved and replaced by the Canadian Hockey Association , from which the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Shamrocks also moved to the NHA in the course of the 1910 season after a poor attendance average and the associated dissolution of the league .
In their debut season, the Haileybury Comets finished fifth. The team then lost financial support from O'Brien and returned to the Timiskaming Professional Hockey League for the 1910/11 season. When this was set in 1911, the Comets played another four years in the amateur league Timiskaming Senior Hockey League before they were finally dissolved in 1915.
