For the first season, 1917–18, the team operated without a formal organization separate from the Arena Company and without an official club nickname. However, the press would dub the team the "Blue Shirts" or "Torontos" as they had done with the NHA franchise.

Rover (ice Hockey)
A rover was an ice hockey position that was phased out during the 1910s and 1920s. The rover did not have a set position, and roamed the ice at will. Use of the rover resulted in teams having seven players on the ice at once, as compared to six players under modern rules. History In the late 19th century and early 20th century, ice hockey consisted of seven positions: the goaltender, two defencemen, one rover, and three forwards. Unlike the others, who had set positions, the rover went where needed, much as a midfielder in association football might. As the skill level of players increased, the need to have a rover decreased. Shortly after it was formed in 1910, the National Hockey Association (NHA) decided to exclude the rover. The league's successor, the National Hockey League (NHL), did the same in 1917. However, the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), formed in 1911, kept the rover. The Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) considered, but did not adopt, use of the rov ...
