Although the Can-Am League never operated with more than six teams, the departure of the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Tigers_(CAHL)" title="Boston Tigers (CAHL)">Boston Bruin Cubs</a> after the 1935–36 season reduced it down to just four member clubs: the <a href="/wiki/Springfield_Indians" title="Springfield Indians">Springfield Indians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Ramblers" title="Philadelphia Ramblers">Philadelphia Ramblers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Providence_Reds" title="Providence Reds">Providence Reds</a>, and <a href="/wiki/New_Haven_Eagles" title="New Haven Eagles">New Haven Eagles</a> for the first time in its history. At the same time, the then-rival IHL lost half of its eight members after the 1935–36 season, leaving it with just four member teams: the <a href="/wiki/Buffalo_Bisons_(IHL)" title="Buffalo Bisons (IHL)">Buffalo Bisons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Syracuse_Stars_(ice_hockey)" title="Syracuse Stars (ice hockey)">Syracuse Stars</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Hornets" title="Pittsburgh Hornets">Pittsburgh Hornets</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Falcons" title="Cleveland Falcons">Cleveland Falcons</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1936–1938"><span id="1936.E2.80.931938"></span>1936–1938</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Hockey_League&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1936–1938"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With both leagues down to the bare minimum number of teams to be viable, the governors of both leagues recognized the need for action to assure their member clubs' long-term survival. Their solution was to play an interlocking schedule. While the Can-Am was based in the <a href="/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeast</a> and the IHL in the <a href="/wiki/Great_Lakes_Region_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Great Lakes Region (North America)">Great Lakes</a>, their footprints were close enough for this to be a viable option. The two leagues' eight surviving clubs began joint play in November 1936 as a new two-division "circuit of mutual convenience" known as the International-American Hockey League. The four Can-Am teams became the I-AHL East Division, with the IHL quartet playing as the West Division. The IHL also contributed its former championship trophy, the <a href="/wiki/F.G._%22Teddy%22_Oke_Trophy" class="mw-redirect" title="F.G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy">F.G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy</a>, which would go to the regular-season winners of the merged league's West Division until 1952. The Oke Trophy is now awarded to the regular-season winners of the AHL's North Division. </p><p>A little more than a month into that first season, the balance and symmetry of the new combined circuit suffered a setback when its membership unexpectedly fell to seven teams. The West's Buffalo Bisons were forced to cease operations on December 6, 1936, after playing just 11 games, because of what proved to be insurmountable financial problems and lack of access to a suitable arena; the Bisons' original arena, <a href="/wiki/Peace_Bridge_Arena" title="Peace Bridge Arena">Peace Bridge Arena</a>, had collapsed the previous season (a new <a href="/wiki/Buffalo_Bisons_(AHL)" title="Buffalo Bisons (AHL)">Buffalo Bisons</a> team would return to the league in 1940 after <a href="/wiki/Buffalo_Memorial_Auditorium" title="Buffalo Memorial Auditorium">a new arena</a> was constructed for them). The makeshift new I-AHL played out the rest of its first season (as well as all of the next) with just seven teams. </p><p>At the end of the 1936–37 season, a modified three-round playoff format was devised and a new championship trophy, the <a href="/wiki/Calder_Cup" title="Calder Cup">Calder Cup</a>, was established. The Syracuse Stars defeated the Philadelphia Ramblers in the final, three-games-to-one, to win the first-ever Calder Cup championship. The Calder Cup continues on today as the AHL's playoff championship trophy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Formal_consolidation_of_the_I-AHL">Formal consolidation of the I-AHL</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Hockey_League&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Formal consolidation of the I-AHL"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:%22Hershey_in_Hockey_League%22_(from_The_Philadelphia_Record,_6-29-1938).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/%22Hershey_in_Hockey_League%22_%28from_The_Philadelphia_Record%2C_6-29-1938%29.jpg/240px-%22Hershey_in_Hockey_League%22_%28from_The_Philadelphia_Record%2C_6-29-1938%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="442" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/%22Hershey_in_Hockey_League%22_%28from_The_Philadelphia_Record%2C_6-29-1938%29.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="552" /></a><figcaption>A June 29, 1938 <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a> article in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Philadelphia_Record" title="The Philadelphia Record">The Philadelphia Record</a></i> announcing the formation of the <a href="/wiki/Hershey_Bears" title="Hershey Bears">Hershey Bears</a> in <a href="/wiki/Hershey,_Pennsylvania" title="Hershey, Pennsylvania">Hershey, Pennsylvania</a></figcaption></figure> <p>After two seasons of interlocking play, the governors of the two leagues' seven active teams met in New York City on June 28, 1938, and agreed that it was time to formally consolidate. <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Podoloff" title="Maurice Podoloff">Maurice Podoloff</a> of New Haven, the former head of the Can-Am League, was elected the I-AHL's first president.

It generally enjoyed both consistent success on the ice and relative financial stability over its first three decades of operation. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, the cost of doing business in professional ice hockey began to rise sharply with NHL expansion and relocation (the NHL placed teams in Pittsburgh and Buffalo, forcing two long-time AHL clubs, the Pittsburgh Hornets and Buffalo Bisons, to fold) and especially the 1972 formation of the <a href="/wiki/World_Hockey_Association" title="World Hockey Association">World Hockey Association</a> (WHA), which forced the relocation and subsequent folding of the <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Barons_(1937%E2%80%9373)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleveland Barons (1937–73)">Cleveland Barons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Clippers" title="Baltimore Clippers">Baltimore Clippers</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Quebec_Aces" title="Quebec Aces">Quebec Aces</a>. The number of major-league teams competing for players rose from six to thirty in just seven years. Player salaries at all levels shot up dramatically with the increased demand and competition for their services. </p><p>This did not seem to affect the AHL at first, as it expanded to 12 teams by 1970. However, to help compensate for the rise in player salaries, many NHL clubs cut back on the number of players they kept under contract for development, and players under AHL contracts could now also demand much higher paychecks to remain with their clubs. As a result, half of the AHL's teams folded from 1974 to 1977. The league bottomed out in the summer of 1977, with news that the Rhode Island (formerly Providence) Reds – the last remaining uninterrupted franchise from the 1936–37 season, and the oldest continuously operating minor league franchise in North America – had decided to cease operations after 51 years in Rhode Island. </p><p>The AHL appeared in serious danger of folding altogether if this downward trend was not reversed. However, two events in the fall of 1977 helped reverse the trend. The first of these was the decision of the NHL's <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Flyers" title="Philadelphia Flyers">Philadelphia Flyers</a> to return to the league as a team owner, and the second was the unexpected collapse of the <a href="/wiki/North_American_Hockey_League_(1973%E2%80%931977)" title="North American Hockey League (1973–1977)">North American Hockey League</a> just weeks before the start of the 1977–78 season. </p><p>The Flyers' new AHL franchise became the immediately successful <a href="/wiki/Maine_Mariners_(AHL)" title="Maine Mariners (AHL)">Maine Mariners</a>, which brought the new AHL city of <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Maine" title="Portland, Maine">Portland, Maine</a> both the regular-season and Calder Cup playoff titles in each of that club's first two seasons of operation. The folding of the NAHL, meanwhile, suddenly left two of its stronger teams, the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Firebirds_(ice_hockey)" class="mw-redirect" title="Philadelphia Firebirds (ice hockey)">Philadelphia Firebirds</a> and <a href="/wiki/Binghamton,_New_York" title="Binghamton, New York">Binghamton, New York</a>-based <a href="/wiki/Broome_Dusters" title="Broome Dusters">Broome Dusters</a>, without a league to play in. The owners of the Dusters solved their problem by buying the Reds franchise and moving it to Binghamton as the <a href="/wiki/Binghamton_Dusters" title="Binghamton Dusters">Binghamton Dusters</a>, while the Firebirds crossed over to the AHL from the NAHL. The Dusters and Firebirds, together with the <a href="/wiki/Hampton_Gulls" title="Hampton Gulls">Hampton Gulls</a> (who had joined the league from the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Hockey_League_(1973%E2%80%931977)" title="Southern Hockey League (1973–1977)">Southern Hockey League</a>), boosted the AHL to nine member clubs as the 1977–78 season opened. Hampton folded on February 10, 1978, but was replaced the next year by the <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick_Hawks" title="New Brunswick Hawks">New Brunswick Hawks</a>. With franchise stability improving after the demise of the WHA in 1979, the league continued to grow steadily over the years, reaching 20 clubs by the 2000–01 season. </p> <div class="mw-heading
