Monumental celebration: Victoria marks 100 years since B.C.'s last Stanley Cup

The monument unveiling celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Victoria Cougars' Stanley Cup victory

The Victoria CougarsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ century celebrations continued Friday morning as the Victoria Hockey Legacy Society unveiled a refurbished monument at Oak Bay High commemorating the teamÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s .

Originally installed in 2000 to mark the 75th anniversary of the CougarsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ historic championship, the plaque honours their legacy as the last team from British Columbia to win the Stanley Cup.

The Cougars secured their title at Patrick Arena, VictoriaÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s first major indoor hockey venue.

Located in Oak Bay, the 4,000-seat arena was a hub for early West Coast hockey and home to the Cougars during their championship run.

Tragically, the arena was destroyed by fire in 1929, but its legacy remains a significant part of Canadian hockey history.

Fans and history enthusiasts can visit the restored monument at 2121 Cadboro Bay Road.
