Their solution was to dissolve the NHA and form a new league, the NHL. The Stanley Cup originated in 1893, and was a challenge cup whereby certain leagues' champions could challenge the champion of whichever league held the cup. This actually continued until 1926, meaning that for the first 9 years of the NHL's existence, the league championship did not guarantee a Cup!
