The Port Arthur Bearcats represented Canada at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
Originally the Halifax Wolverines, who had won the 1934-35 Allan Cup Final, were supposed to be Canada's team. However the team folded due to financial reasons. Their players were still going to go to the Olympics, but they demanded financial compensation for lost wages. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) could not agree to this. This would have contravened the Olympic amateur rules.
The Wolverines players then dropped out and were replaced by the Bearcats who had lost the Allan Cup final in 1935. Some players from the Montreal Royals were added to the team.
