In the summer of 1902 Keystones' player Harry Peel admitted that he was paid $35 a week to play in the league. According to Peel "[The Keystones] make no bones whatever about paying men. If they do not pay them, they give them fake positions." Peel was later suspended by the Ontario Hockey Association and his appeal was rejected on December 10, 1903 and again on November 30, 1904. However, by the 1902-03 season the WPHL, was known as a fully professional league.

gollark: This obviously creates a paradox.
gollark: ++delete the table
gollark: It stores a schema version number and uses that to determine whether it needs to run commands to create new tables and stuff, so if you delete tables without actually creating a migration for it then it will *not* automatically recreate them but will act as if they still exist, so stuff will break horribly.
gollark: That would wipe all deleted items and quite possibly break the bot's database migration logic.
gollark: You could do something like `DELETE FROM deleted_items WHERE id = [whatever]`, though obviously that would require finding the ID..
