[edit] History

The Regina Pats are the oldest major junior hockey franchise in the world that have continuously operated from their original location and use the same name. They began operations in 1917. They were originally named the Patricias, after Princess Patricia of Connaught, the granddaugher of Queen Victoria and daughter of the Governor General (the Duke of Connaught). The team name was also associated with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, to the point that Pats sweaters still bear the regimental crest as a shoulder patch. In 1923, the team's name was shortened to the Pats. The Pats won Canadian junior championships in 1925 and 1930, as well as in 1928 when they were known as the Regina Monarchs. During World War II, the team remained dormant but was re-organized in 1946. The Regina Pats won their fourth Canadian junior championship in the 1974 Memorial Cup. In 1977, they moved from Regina Exhibition Stadium to the new Agridome, since renamed the Brandt Centre. Most recently, they were the host team for the 2001 Memorial Cup.
