Team History: A Century of Hockey
The Regina Pats team began in 1917. They were named after the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. This was a Canadian army group formed during the First World War. The Memorial Cup was created to honor Canadian war veterans. The Pats played in the very first Memorial Cup championship in 1919. They lost that game to the University of Toronto Schools.
The team's first home was Regina Arena, which opened in 1910. It could hold about 2,000 fans. In 1920, the team moved to the Regina Stadium. They played there until 1977. In 1923, the team's name became shorter, just "the Pats." In 1925, the Pats won their first Memorial Cup. They beat Toronto Aura Lee for the title.
For the 1927–28 season, the Pats joined with the Regina Falcons. They called themselves the Regina Monarchs. This team won the Memorial Cup that year. Then, they went back to being the Pats in 1928–29. The Pats won one more Memorial Cup in this early period. They defeated the West Toronto Nationals 2–0 in 1930.
The Pats played in different leagues over the years. They were in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 1946 to 1948. Then, they played in the Western Canada Junior Hockey League from 1948 to 1956. After that, they returned to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 1956 to 1966. In the 1960s, the team was a farm team for the Montreal Canadiens. This meant they helped develop players for the Canadiens.
Del Wilson, a scout for the Canadiens, became the Pats' general manager in 1955. In 1966, Wilson and the Pats helped start a new major junior league. It was called the Western Canada Hockey League. This new league aimed to help western teams compete better for the Memorial Cup. However, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) first saw it as an "outlaw league." They banned its teams from playing for the Memorial Cup. Because of this, the Pats went back to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League in 1968.
In 1970, the CAHA changed how junior hockey worked in Canada. They finally recognized the WCHL as a real major junior league. The Pats then returned to the league for good. The league was renamed the Western Hockey League in 1978. Del Wilson bought the Pats in 1970. He helped the team become a national champion again. The Pats won their first President's Cup WCHL championship and their fourth Memorial Cup in 1974. Wilson sold his share of the team in 1980. That same year, the team won its second President's Cup. The team stayed strong in the early 1980s. They lost the WHL final in 1982 and 1984.
In 1977, the team moved from Exhibition Stadium. They went to the new Agridome, now called the Brandt Centre. Their last game at Exhibition was a 4–3 overtime win. They opened the new arena with an 8–4 victory.
In 2014, John Paddock became the team's coach and manager. The 2016–17 season was the Pats' 99th year. They had their first ever 50-win season. They also won their second Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy as regular season champions. The team reached its first championship final since 1984. They lost to the Seattle Thunderbirds.
The 2017–18 season was the Pats' 100th anniversary. The team held many celebrations that year. They announced an outdoor game at Mosaic Stadium. This game was against their rivals, the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Pats also hosted the 2018 Memorial Cup. They made it to the championship game but lost. The 2018 outdoor game was moved indoors because of weather. However, the Pats did host the Calgary Hitmen at Mosaic Stadium. This was part of the 2019 Heritage Classic events. The game was called the "Prairie Classic." Calgary won 5–4 in overtime.
Championship Wins
The Pats have been western Canadian junior hockey champions fourteen times. This includes twelve Abbott Cup wins and two President's Cup wins. The Pats were also Saskatchewan junior hockey champions in 1918. This was before inter-provincial junior championships began.
