Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA)
1912-13 PCHA Season Overview
The 1912–13 PCHA season was the second season of the professional men's ice hockey Pacific Coast Hockey Association league. Season play ran from December 10, 1912, until March 18, 1913. Like the previous season, teams were to play a 16-game schedule, but one game was cancelled. The Victoria Aristocrats club would be the PCHA champions. After the season the club would play, and win, an exhibition series against the Quebec Bulldogs, NHA champions. The Patricks signed Cyclone Taylor from the Ottawa Senators, replacing Newsy Lalonde who returned to the Montreal Canadiens. Taylor signed with the Vancouver Millionaires on November 19, 1912. The PCHA moved two games east of the Rockies, on March 17 in Calgary, Alberta, and on March 18 in Regina, Saskatchewan. The final game of the season, between Victoria and New Westminster was cancelled. Victoria won the championship and formally asked to play for the Stanley Cup, but was turned down due to the PCHA season ending several weeks later than the eastern leagues' season finished.
