Victoria City League

==History==
This league was started in 1911-12 after the Patrick Brothers built an artificial ice arena (Patrick Arena) in Victoria. Partly because of mild weather and also due to a small population, the league never did very well. The league/city champions was awarded the Dudleigh Cup. It also had to compete against professionals in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and the Western Canada Hockey League. No league member managed to win the British Columbia Senior Hockey Championship during the league's existence
At various times it had senior, intermediate, and junior teams playing in the league.
