The Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets formed as an amateur team in 1915. The Yellow Jackets played primarily in the USAHA (United States Amateur Hockey Association.) The organization's owner was a former referee named Roy Schooley. After winning the USAHA Championship in 1924 and 1925 the Yellow Jackets were sold to attorney James F. Callahan who wanted to move the team to a professional league. They were granted an NHL team and became the Pittsburgh Pirates under Callahan's ownership. The Pittsburgh Yellowjackets would become an IHL club from 1930-1932.
