SUMMARY:A Century Celebration of the Victoria Cougars Hockey
DESCRIPTION:The Victoria Hockey Legacy Society is hosting “A Century Celebration” in honour of the Victoria Cougars’ historic Stanley Cup victory. This three-day event will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Cougars’ legendary championship win. \nIn partnership with the District of Oak Bay\, the majority of the festivities will be held at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre. \nAttention Oak Bay Recreation Centre Patrons: Please be aware that there will be no parking at Oak Bay Recreation Centre from March 28-31. \nEvent Information \n\nHistorical Information about the Victoria Cougars\nIn 1925\, the Western Canada Hockey League’s Victoria Cougars faced the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadiens in a four-game series. \nVictoria won its first game at Patrick Arena\, which used to exist on the corner of Cadboro Bay Road and Epworth Street in Oak Bay. Montreal tied the series at Vancouver’s Denman Arena but the Cougars prevailed in games three and four at home in Oak Bay. \nA Historic Win\nThe BC Hall of Fame website notes that the 1924-25 Victoria Cougars were the second B.C. team to capture hockey’s most coveted championship chalice\, a decade after the Vancouver Millionaires won the first. The Cougars were also the last non-NHL team to win it. No other team from B.C. has won it since. \nTo get to the finals\, Victoria won its first-round series against Saskatoon\, and its second against Calgary. \nMembers of the Victoria Cougars 1925 team engraved on the iconic trophy include owner/coach Lester Patrick and players Jocko Anderson\, Frank Frederickson\, Frank Foyston\, Wally Elmer\, Harold Gizzy Hart\, Harry Meeking\, Jack Walker\, Clem Loughlin\, Gord Fraser\, Haldor Halderson and Harry Hap Holmes. \nThe Canadiens featured hockey legends such as Howie Morenz\, Georges Vezina and others. \nRead all about it\nAuthor Helen Edwards\, Presenting Sponsor of Century Celebration\, has written the quintessential history of hockey in Victoria – and it features the story of the Victoria Cougars and their Stanley Cup win. Learn more about it\, and where to get your copy\, here. \n \nThe Victoria Cougars’ Impact on Hockey \nThe legacy of the Victoria Cougars lives on in the game we love today! The Patrick brothers\, Victoria’s legendary hockey innovators\, introduced over 22 rules that still shape the NHL. Their game-changing contributions include: \n\nThe blue line & forward pass\nThe playoff system—now a global sports standard\nJersey numbers to help fans identify players\nAssists officially counted on goals\nGoalies allowed to fall to the ice to make saves\nThe penalty shot and new puck-kicking rules\n\nHockey wouldn’t be the same without their vision. \nImage: The Patrick Family – Ice Hockey Royalty – circa 1934 \n(Left to Right: Frank Patrick\, Lynn Patrick\, Joe Patrick and Lester Patrick) \n  \n \nExplore Victoria’s Rich Hockey Heritage! \nDid you know that in 1925\, the Victoria Cougars became the last non-NHL team to hoist the iconic championship trophy? They clinched victory against the Montreal Canadiens right here in Victoria\, with pivotal games played at the historic Patrick Arena in Oak Bay\, once located at Cadboro Bay Road and Epworth Street. \nThe 1924-1925 Victoria Cougars.

Out of nearly 2\,000 suggestions\, “Falcons” emerged victorious\, beating out suggestions including Wolverines\, Dynamics and Ambassadors\, as well as Racketeers\, Hughes’ Hustlers\, Trojans\, Wanderers and Magnetos. \nA new city\, a new name\, and a fresh start for the team! \nThe Detroit Cougars\, who became the Falcons\, line up in Larry Aurie’s first NHL season\, 1927-28.
