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. Photo: BC Sports Hall of Fame \n  \n \nThe Detroit Falcons – A New Name and a Fresh Start \nAfter relocating to Detroit\, the Victoria Cougars were renamed the Detroit Falcons. 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.

SUMMARY:St. Patrick’s Day Celebration with The Slieves & Q Brooke Bachand
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening of all things Irish as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Featuring The Slieves along with multi-award winning artist Q.Brooke Bachand it will be an evening of high energy foot stomping music you won’t want to miss! \nThe Slieves are a West Coast Celtic band hailing from Victoria and Duncan B.C.\, the traditional territories of the Lekwungen\, WSÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun peoples. Brought together by their love of traditional Irish Music\, this group has brought Celtic folk and Celtic-inspired original music to the coast of B.C. for well over a decade. The trio draws inspiration from such groups as Dervish\, The Bothy Band\, The Pogues\, The Chieftains\, Great Big Sea\, The Irish Rovers\, and others. The talented members include the magical Tasia MacKay (Irish flute and whistles\, 5 string banjo\, vocals)\, the accomplished Jeremy Walsh (guitar\, vocals) and the foot-stomping Andrew Morris MacKay (bodhran\, spoons\, vocals). \nQ. Brooke Bachand (they/them)\, winner of two Irish Music Awards\, is a consummate performer who is clearly at ease on stage. Known for their powerful fiddle\, captivating vocals and their contagious energy\, their love of Folk and Celtic music is always at the forefront as they thrill audiences with energetic and spirited performances that showcase their fiddle & vocal talents as well as their love of story-sharing. \nOnce a teen fiddle star \, Q has blossomed & grown into their (non-binary) gender identity and life’s purpose & are singing rebel ballads and folk songs (a capella & self-accompanied)\, interspersed with rip-roaring fiddle tunes to help heal the soul. Their sets will equally inspire as they will bring you to tears or have you clapping along (& stomping your feet) ! \nThe Upstairs Lounge is a licensed all ages restaurant and bar\, doors open at 6 pm for dinner service\, the concert starts at 7:30 pm. \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions.

SUMMARY:The Lonesome Ace Stringband
DESCRIPTION:Masters of their trade\, The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit\, skill and abandon to Americana music\, bridging old-time\, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless. \nThe trio’s sound is anchored in the fiddle and clawhammer banjo of John Showman and Chris Coole. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone\, James Mceleney\, and Lotus Wight). The band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a stringband\, to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer.  Whether singing about climate change\, modern love\, BBQ techniques or life’s inevitable existential crises\, the band cuts to the core. They can also turn and churn out a tune with so much verve that it will make your heart spin and set the dance floor swirling. \nThere’s a reason why they are a smokin’ hot outfit – they’ve put in their time. In 2007\, Lonesome Ace Stringband took up residency in Toronto’s legendary Dakota Tavern\, routinely playing 10 sets of music every weekend. They went on to spend seven years as the house band before ever taking the show on the road or recording a note. Those years of musical percolation honed them into a group that thinks and plays as one – something that comes from clocking thousands of on-stage hours together.  Outside of their trio work\, each musician is a veteran of the Canadian music scene\, sought after for teaching camps\, recording sessions and touring with some of the best artists in North America. \nThe band’s recording journey mirrors the arc of their on-stage evolution.  Their early catalogue is anchored in inventive and engaging versions of  traditional repertoire punctuated by original compositions.  Now with more than a decade of group music-making under their belts\, they’re releasing their fifth album\, a feisty and mighty collection of all-original material titled ‘Try To Make It Fly’ (October 13\, 2023). And much like their seamless live performances where they trade-off lead vocals\, each member has brought their songwriting voice to the album. \nTheir touring has taken them well beyond their Toronto origin.  They’ve become festival favourites at Rockygrass\, Celtic Connections\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Merlefest and regularly tour the USA\, UK\, Germany and\, of course\, Canada. \nCall Lonesome Ace Stringband whatever genre you want – they are just unorthodox enough to be brilliant. \nhttps://lonesomeace.com \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions.
