Western Canada League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Western Canada League was the name of three different baseball circuits in Minor league baseball which operated between 1907 and 1921.

The first was a Class-D league that played only in 1907 with four teams sponsored by four cities. The second was also classified as D league and ran from 1909 through 1914 with eleven different cities represented in its six years of existence. The third started with four teams as a Class-C in 1919 and expanded to six teams as a Class-B in 1920. The league folded after the 1921 season.
