Vancouver Bighorns



The Vancouver Bighorns are a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia which plays in the Professional Hockey League.

History
The current incarnation of the team is actually the second, a previous one having played in the PHL from 1945 before suspending operations in 1949 because of various financial difficulties (including extremely high travel costs). After numerous attempts to rejoin the PHL, owner Gerald Smythe formed his own league in 1965, reviving the Bighorns as a member of the new Global Hockey League.

After four seasons in the GHL, the Bighorns along with the other five remaining GHL members merged into the PHL.

More coming soon.
