1914-15 Allan Cup
Winning the Cup
Regina Victorias were the Allan Cup defending champions. When Melville Millionaires won the Southern Saskatchewan Senior League, of which the Victorias were also a member, they also won the Allan Cup.
The Haileybury Hockey Club planned to challenge for the cup, and sent a letter to W.F. Taylor, president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, indicating their intentions to do so. Their letter was referred to the Ontario Hockey Association, which was to verify the amateur standing of the club.[1] Nothing came of the challenge in the end.
