NELSON HOCKEY HISTORY
WESTERN INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE

The Nelson Maple Leafs are one of the great names in Canadian Senior hockey. The club was formed in
1934 when the Nelson Red Wings changed their name to the Maple Leafs in the West Kootenay Senior
Hockey League. Nelson suspended operations in 1941 forcing Trail and Kimberley to find competition
in Alberta. The club resumed play in the new Western International Hockey League in 1945. The Leafs
dropped out of the league again in 1962 forcing Trail and Kimberley to continue on as independent teams.
They returned in 1963 reforming the WIHL. The Leafs finally died for good in 1987 and the WIHL
ceased operation one year later.
