Winnipeg Monarchs

An Ice Hockey Wiki article.

The Winnipeg Monarchs hockey club was organized in 1906 and played their games at a rink on the corner of Sargent Avenue and Furby Street in west-end Winnipeg. The Monarchs were allowed into the Manitoba Senior Hockey League in 1911 joining the Winnipeg Victorias and the Winnipegs in a 3 team league. In 1913 and 1914 the Monarchs captured the Manitoba Senior Hockey Crown. In 1915, the Monarchs were the Canadian Senior Hockey Champions winning the Allan Cup.
The Winnipeg Monarchs entered the Manitoba Junior Hockey League in 1930–31. The Monarchs would continue to produce a senior team. In 1932 the Juniors Monarchs were Memorial Cup finalists losing out to Sudbury Wolves in the final. In 1934, the Senior Monarchs won the Manitoba Senior Championship and in 1935 they represented Canada and were proud Gold Medal Winners at the World Hockey Championship. After winning the World Championship, the Winnipeg Monarch Senior Club ceased operations.
The Winnipeg Monarchs won the Memorial Cup 3 times, 1935, 1937, and 1946, becoming Canadian Junior Hockey Champions. In 1946, in Toronto, George Robertson scored the winning goal in the 7th game of the Memorial Cup Final before a sell out crowd at Maple Leaf Gardens.

The Winnipeg Monarchs in 1950/51 lost to the Barrie Flyers in the Memorial Cup Championships

In 1975, the Club changed their name to Assiniboine Park Monarchs for 2 seasons and then once more they returned to the Winnipeg Monarchs name. However in 1978, after winning 10 Turnbull Cup as Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions, 5 Abbott Cup as Western Canadian junior hockey champions, and 3 Memorial Cup as Canadian junior hockey champions, the Winnipeg Monarchs dropped out of junior hockey.

On May 18,1978, a group of Winnipeg businessmen purchased the Monarchs and relocated the team to the Winnipeg suburb of Fort Garry. The team was named the Fort Garry Blues.
