Team History: From 1917 to Today
The Regina Pats team began in 1917. It was 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. In 1919, the Pats played in the very first Memorial Cup championship. They lost to the University of Toronto Schools.
The team's first home was Regina Arena. It opened in 1910 and 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 team won its first Memorial Cup title. They beat Toronto Aura Lee. 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 called the Pats in 1928–29. The Pats won one more Memorial Cup in this early time. They beat 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 joined 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.
New Leagues and Big Wins
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 wanted to help western teams compete better for the Memorial Cup.
However, the main hockey group, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), did not like the new league. They called it an "outlaw league." They even stopped 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 said the WCHL was 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 part 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 to the new Agridome. This arena is now called the Brandt Centre. The Pats won their last game at Exhibition Stadium 4–3. They started in the new arena with an 8–4 win.
Recent Years and Special Games
In 2014, John Paddock became the team's coach and manager. The 2016–17 season was the Pats' 99th year. They won 50 games for the first time ever. 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 had many celebrations. They planned an outdoor game at Mosaic Stadium against the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Pats also hosted the 2018 Memorial Cup. They lost in the championship game. The 2018 outdoor game was moved inside because of weather. But the Pats did play the Calgary Hitmen outdoors at Mosaic Stadium in 2019. This 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 bigger inter-provincial championships started.
The Pats have played in more Memorial Cup tournaments than any other team. They have won four times and finished second ten times. They have hosted the Memorial Cup tournament seven times.
