context_section_description: Ottawa played four pre-season games, on December 27, 1894, at home against Montreal HC, winning 5–1. Chauncy Kirby would play goal for Ottawa. The clubs played a rematch exhibition in Montreal on December 30. In this game, spirits were high in the Victoria Skating Rink as the crowd rushed onto the ice after Ottawa tied the game 2–2. Captain Young would order Ottawa off the ice and the game did not resume.
  A team composed of American collegiate players visited Ottawa for a two-game series at the start of January. The first game, on January 2, 1895, was played under American rules (with a ball, and the positions titled goal, quarterback and three forwards) and was won by the Americans 5–3. The second game was played under Canadian rules and was won by Ottawa 15–1.
