Vancouver Millionaires
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vancouver Millionaires were a professional ice hockey team in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 1911 to 1926. In 1922 the team's name was changed to the Vancouver Maroons. Initially playing in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association through 1924, the team became a member of the Western Canada Hockey League when the two leagues merged that year. They won the Stanley Cup in 1915, defeating the Ottawa Senators 3 games to 0, and played for it in 1918, 1921 and 1922. Their jerseys were maroon with a white V, with Vancouver spelled down one side of the V and up the other.
The home arena of the Millionaires was the Denman Arena, one of the first artificial ice surfaces in Canada.
They are noted as the only team from Vancouver to have won the Stanley Cup.
Hall of Famers Fred "Cyclone" Taylor and Didier Pitre played for the Millionaires.
