St. John's College is one of four colleges that started the University of Manitoba. St. John's refused to comply with the University's wishes, continuing to dress the 2 players in question. However the Team vowed to register outside U of M jurisdiction for the following year. And they did actually that, forming the Winnipeg Rangers Athletic Club.
