On December 11, 1905, before the start of the 1905–06 season, Stuart was suspended from the league after the western teams complained that he had won too many championships and was too rough for the league.
Po sezoni v Pittsburghu je Stuart prestopil v Portage Lakes Hockey Club iz severnega Michigana, za katerega je v sezoni 1903/04 odigral štirinajst prijateljskih tekem, na katerih je bil s trinajstimi goli četrti klubski strelec.
