The Victoria Cougars, who joined the Western Canada Hockey league with the Vancouver Maroons after the Pacific Coast Hockey Association folded, became the last non-NHL team to win the Stanley Cup and only the third west coast club to capture the trophy, joining the 1915 Vancouver Millionaires and the 1917 Seattle Metropolitans as champions.
All eight Montreal goals in the series came from the Canadiens' top line of Howie Morenz, Aurel Joliat and Billy Boucher, but Victoria posted a more balanced attack with eight different skaters combining for 16 goals.
1924-25 - Victoria Cougars - Harry Holmes, Clem Loughlin, Gord Fraser, Frank Fredrickson, Jack Walker, Harold (Gizzy) Hart, Harold Halderson, Frank Foyston, Wally Elmer, Harry Meeking, Jocko Anderson, Lester Patrick (manager-coach).
