The '''Winnipeg Victorias''' were a former amateur senior-level men's amateur [[ice hockey]] team in Winnipeg, Manitoba, organized in 1889.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hockey: Canada's Royal Winter Game|last=Farrell|first=Arthur|year=1899|page=63}}</ref> They played in the [[Manitoba Hockey Association]] (MHA) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Victorias won the [[Stanley Cup]] in February 1896, 1901 and January 1902 while losing the Cup in December 1896, February 1899, February 1900, March 1902, and February 1903. After the Stanley Cup became the professional championship, the Victorias continued in senior-level amateur play, winning the [[Allan Cup]] in 1911 and 1912.

==History==

The Victoria Hockey Club, and the first rink they played in, took their name from the then-reigning monarch of Canada, Queen Victoria.

From 1889 until 1892, the Victorias played exhibitions and played against other Winnipeg teams. The Victorias played in the first match in Western Canada between organized hockey clubs on December 20, 1890 against the [[Winnipeg Hockey Club]] at the Street Railway Rink in Winnipeg. The players were:

The Victorias helped to found the [[Manitoba Hockey Association]] in 1893. In February 1893, players from the Victorias joined players from the Winnipeg Dragoons and the Winnipeg Hockey Club on a tour of Eastern Canada to demonstrate the quality of ice hockey in Western Canada.{{sfn|Simpson|1989|p=176}}

The Victorias first won the [[Stanley Cup]] in 1896, defeated the [[Montreal Victorias]] in a single-game challenge 2-0 on February 14, 1896 in Montreal. In the rematch, Winnipeg lost to Montreal in a single-game challenge 5-6 on December 30, 1896 in Winnipeg.

In 1898, the team moved to the new Winnipeg Auditorium, built to hold 2000 spectators for hockey. In [[1899_CAHL_season#Victorias_vs._Winnipeg|February 1899]], the Victorias would lose a two-game total goals series 5-3 against Montreal. In their next chance, the Victorias defeated [[Montreal Shamrocks]] in a two-game, total goals series 4-3, 2-1 (6-4) on January 29 and 31, 1901 in Montreal. The Victorias held the trophy, winning the Manitoba championship, and successfully defended the Stanley Cup against Toronto in two-game, total goals series 5-3, 5-3 (10-6) on January 21 and 23, 1902 in Winnipeg at the Auditorium. The Victorias run as champion ended in a loss to [[Montreal Hockey Club]] in a best two-of-three 1-0, 0-5 and 1-2 on March 13, 15 and 17, 1902 in Winnipeg.

After the Stanley Cup was awarded only to professional teams starting in 1908, the Victorias did not challenge for the Stanley Cup, and remained an amateur team, playing in the Manitoba Association. The '''1911 Winnipeg Victorias''' won the [[Allan Cup]] by default when the [[Ontario Hockey Association]] refused to allow their team to play mid-season. In March of that year, the Vics defended the cup by defeating Kenora 12-5. In '''1912''' the '''Victorias''' defended the cup against Calgary (March 5 11-0 & March 7 8-6), [[Toronto Eatons]] (March 9 8-4 & 16-1) and Regina (March 14 9-3).

The 1896 & 1901 Stanley Cup champions and the 1911 & 1912 Allan Cup champions Winnipeg Victorias are inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame and the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in the team category.
