The 1912–13 Toronto Hockey Club season was the first season of the Toronto franchise in the National Hockey Association (NHA).

Team business

Operation of the ice-making equipment at the new Arena Gardens was delayed a week when the pipes had to be relaid. Local pipefitters, unfamiliar with ice-making equipment, had installed the pipes improperly, and W. H. Magee of New York, advisor to the Arena, ordered the pipes removed and reinstalled.[1][2]

Regular season

Cully Wilson scored the first-ever goal for the Torontos, in their opening night 9–5 loss to the Canadiens.[3]
