1926–27 AHA season
The 1926–27 AHA season was the inaugural season for the American Hockey Association. Five franchises who had played the previous year in the Central Hockey League were joined by a new sixth member, the Chicago Cardinals. Schedule and playoffsThe teams were scheduled to play 40 games with 8 coming against each of their five opponents. The top three teams by points would qualify for the postseason with the regular season champion receiving a bye into the final round. Detroit GreyhoundsDue to their expected home rink still being under construction at the start of the season, the Detroit Greyhounds forfeited their first four home games. In mid-December, with delays still plaguing the Greyhounds' rink, the team withdrew from the league. The league rearranged the schedule on the fly and ended up with a slight imbalance in games played by the end of the season, however, the difference in games did not affect the final standings.
