changes gave associations more power to govern their own affairs and paved the way for the CAHA to introduce its own legislation for the immediate reinstatement of professionals as amateurs, instead of a five-year waiting period. The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States ended its working agreement with the CAHA in March 1937, since the CAHA had broken ties with the AAU of C. Duncan expected the CAHA to negotiate an agreement directly with the Eastern Amateur Hockey League (EAHL), which was the top amateur league in the United States.
