	The [[Calgary Fire Brigade]] was the first organized club in Alberta and frequently faced clubs from Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan in 1895 and 1896, and competed in the [[1897 Northwest Territories Championship]], which was won by the Medicine Hat Hatters. In 1898, a "Battle of Alberta" between the [[Edmonton Hockey Club\|Edmonton Thistles]] and the Fire Brigade turned violent. A brawl saw Calgary's E.D. Marshall lose an eye in a stick swinging incident. In February 1898, teams from Pincher Creek and North Fork faced each other.

Shortly after, the Town Boys met a challenge from a team of North-West Mounted Police officers, losing 4-0 before avenging the defeat in a rematch. The first game in Edmonton was played in 1894. In 1895 the Edmonton Hockey Club played a series of games against North-West Mounted Police officers from Fort Saskatchewan. Edmonton and the Strathcona (then South Edmonton) Shamrocks met for the first time in 1896.

	As more NHL games were broadcast on television, the WHL began to suffer, and both the Edmonton and the Calgary franchises withdrew from the league in 1963. With the professional game having vanished again, junior and senior hockey began to flourish once more. The Alberta Junior Hockey League was formed in 1964 and a new Western Canada Senior League was created the same year. Calgary-based teams made it to three Allan Cup finals in four years between 1967-1971. The junior Western Hockey League was founded in 1966, and became Western Canada's premier junior competition.

	Women's hockey also made some inroads in Calgary, Edmonton, and some rural locales during this time period, after first being played during the late 1800s. The Banff Winter Carnival, first organized in 1917, provided a popular meeting place for women's teams from Alberta and British Columbia; competing for the Alpine Cup. The Edmonton Monarchs won the 1918, 1926, and 1929-1932 (successive) tournaments. The Edmonton Jasper Place Rustlers claimed two national women's titles during the 1930s. After a long interval of stagnation, women's hockey was revived in the 1970s.

	The Calgary Stampeders were the first team from Alberta to play in the Allan Cup finals in 1940. After some war-time disruptions where competitions were largely stocked with military teams, senior hockey experienced a major boom across Canada during the 1940s and 1950s. Teams from Alberta competed in the Western Canada Senior League from 1945-1950. The league was elevated to "Major" status (a new classification defined as a step-above senior hockey) for 1950-51, before folding.
