The Vancouver Millionaires were one of the most influential and historically important teams of early professional hockey, representing Vancouver from 1911 to 1926 and competing in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). Known for their distinctive burgundy uniforms, bold “V” crest, and a roster that included some of the most legendary players of the era, the Millionaires left a lasting legacy that remains central to the history of the sport.

The Millionaires are best known for their victory in the 1915 Stanley Cup Final, when they defeated the Ottawa Senators in one of the most dominant championship performances of early hockey. Led by Hall of Fame center Fred “Cyclone” Taylor, one of the greatest players of the pre-NHL era, the Millionaires showcased a level of speed, skill, and innovation that helped define the evolution of the game. Taylor’s scoring ability, skating talent, and unmatched versatility made him the face of Vancouver hockey and one of the most recognizable athletes of the early 20th century.

Other standout players included Frank Patrick and Lester Patrick, two of the most influential figures in hockey history who shaped the sport through rule changes, coaching innovation, and league leadership. Their forward-thinking approach helped revolutionize the game, introducing ideas such as the blue line, the penalty shot, playoff structures, and more. The Millionaires also featured top players like Barney Stanley, Mickey MacKay, and Hugh Lehman, each contributing to the team’s sustained success throughout the 1910s and early 1920s.

The Millionaires played their home games at the historic Denman Arena, one of the largest and most advanced rinks of its time. Their distinctive uniform—a deep burgundy sweater with a bold “V”—became one of the most iconic and recognizable designs in hockey history. The visual identity of the Millionaires continues to influence retro hockey fashion, and their unique color palette remains strongly associated with Vancouver’s early hockey heritage.

As one of the key franchises of the PCHA, the Millionaires played a major role in shaping Western Canadian hockey and helped establish the West as a competitive force long before league mergers created the structure of modern professional hockey. Even though the team dissolved in 1926, the Millionaires' identity remains a prominent symbol of Vancouver’s sports history.
