The Federal Amateur Hockey League was a Canadian ice hockey league that played three seasons from 1903 to 1906. Three of the four teams in the league's inaugrual season were clubs that had been rejected for membership by the Canadian Amateur Hockey League, while the fourth—the Montreal Wanderers—was comprised of disillusioned players from two Montreal-based CAHL teams. The Stanley Cup-champion Ottawa HC jumped from the CAHL to the FAHL in 1904, while the Montreal Nationals went in the opposite direction and joined the CAHL.
