Calgary Stampeders (hockey)
Encyclopedia
The Calgary Stampeders are a defunct ice hockey
team that was based in Calgary
, Alberta
, Canada
. The team existed from 1938 until 1972, playing in various senior and minor professional leagues during that time. In 1946, the Stampeders captured the Allan Cup
as Canadian senior hockey champions, the first Alberta based club to do so.
A team of this same name also played the 1978–79 season in the Western International Hockey League
.
(WCSHL). Led by Ken "Red" Hunter's then senior-amateur record 81 points, the Stamps finished first overall in the WCSHL with a 28–7–1 record, earning a bye into the league championship where they quickly dispatched the Edmonton Flyers
four games to one. The Stamps then faced the Winnipeg Orioles for the Prairie championship. While Winnipeg's coach predicted his team would sweep Calgary in three games, it was instead the Stampeders who eliminated Winnipeg in three by scores of 5–1, 10–2 and 8–2. In the Western Canada final, the Stampeders once again easily handled their opponents, this time, the Trail Smoke Eaters
. After tying the first two games, Calgary won the next two by 7–3 and 4–2 scores to reach the Allan Cup final against the Hamilton Tigers.
The series almost never happened. With the tournament scheduled to be held out west, the Hamilton players considered forgoing the Allan Cup final as the $6 per day they were offered for the trip was not enough to be able to take time off from their jobs. The Tigers did make the trip, however, and were easily dispatched by the Stampeders in five games, winning the fifth game by a 1–0 score in Edmonton
before a crowd of 6,000.
In 1946-47, the Stampeders once again reached the Allan Cup final. They were defeated, however, by the Montreal Royals
. The deciding game was held in Quebec City in front of over 11,000 spectators.
As occurred frequently with senior hockey, growing concerns were surfacing regarding the status of players, as many teams were using former professionals in violation of the rules laid out by the Allan Cup committee. Many teams, including the Stampeders, were facing pressure to declare whether they were professional or amateur teams.
, officially turned professional, joining the Pacific Coast Hockey League
, later the Western Hockey League
— the top professional league in the Western Canada and the United States
. In doing so, the Stampeders became the minor-league affiliate of the Chicago Black Hawks
.
The Stampeders quickly found success in the professional ranks, winning the WHL title
in 1953–54, defeating the Vancouver Canucks
four games to one. The Stampeders then went on to face the Quebec Aces
of the Quebec Hockey League in the Edinburgh Cup
for the championship of Canadian minor professional hockey. Calgary won the best-of-nine series in six games, with the clinching game held in Calgary, a 4–2 victory in front of 6,500 fans.
The Stampeders also reached the WHL final in 1955, falling to the Flyers in a four game sweep. In 1958, when they fell to the Canucks, and 1959, falling to the Victoria Cougars
. During this time, The Stampeders were one of the top draws in the league. Including all playoff games, the 1953–54 Stampeders drew over 300,000 fans in a city of 150,000. In 1955–56, Calgary drew 157,803 fans in the regular season, second only to the Winnipeg Warriors
.
In 1963, disenchanted with their affiliation with the Chicago Black Hawks, the Stampeders took a one year leave of absence. Gordon Love, chairman of the Calgary Stampede Board, owners of the Stampeders stated: "We have been treated so shabbily by Chicago, that we have no alternative... Tommy Ivan
simply wasn't interested in the future of hockey in Calgary, and that's all there is to it." The Stampeders had also lost $90,000 during the season. Isolated in what was now a mostly Pacific coast league, Edmonton suspended operations along with Calgary. Neither team would ever resume operations, as the Flyers decided they could not be financially stable in the old Edmonton Gardens
, and Calgary could not go it alone without an Edmonton team.
