FRANCHISE HISTORY The Canucks played in the following leagues in their history:
In 1984, the Canucks folded to make room for the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors when the franchise transferred from Winnipeg . WCJHL HISTORY In the summer of 1966, the Canucks were one of five SJHL clubs that left the provincial league to join franchises in Calgary and Edmonton in the new Western Canada Junior Hockey League. The league was considered a "rebel league" by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association , and thus denied the right to compete for Canadian junior hockey's top prize, the Memorial Cup . In the WCJHL's Inagural Season , the Canucks won the league championship despite finishing 4th in the overall standings. The following year, the Canucks would lose out in the league semi-finals after another 4th place finish. Concerned about the WCJHL's poor reputation with the CAHA and hoping to once again compete for the Memorial Cup, the Canucks, along with the Regina Pats and Weyburn Red Wings , would leave the WCJHL to return to the reborn SJHL. Following the reorganization of junior hockey in 1970 , which saw the Western Canada Hockey League gain Tier-I status, the Canucks attempted to rejoin the WCHL but were denied. The Canucks would remain in the Tier-II SJHL until the arrival of the Warriors.
