Senior Hockey

With the exception of the Western Canada Hockey League of the 1920s, Alberta was a bastion of amateur hockey.

From the days that hockey was first played on Calgary’s Bow River to the great outdoor Thistle Rink that drew thousands of Edmontonians, to the great Allan Cup-winning Calgary and Edmonton teams of the 1940s, senior amateur hockey provided this province with many great tales of men who played not for money, but for love of the game.

We will take a look at some of the great teams from the golden age of hockey in the province, from the Dominions and Superiors which ruled over Edmonton to the Calgary Vics club that caused so much controversy.
