The intermediate team won the Saskatchewan championship in 1929-30 and 1930-31. In 1930-31 they did the improbable and beat the provincial senior champions and went on to the Allan Cup playoffs.
The team became senior in 1934-35. They won the provincial title in 1935 and 1937, advancing to the Allan Cup final in 1936-37.
