Almost there!

I am so close to documenting the 1925 Stanley Cup win. I just started dictating information from the 1924-25 season into my database. It is exciting to read the articles even if I know what happens in the end. The Victoria Cougars were not that successful in the PCHA and WCHL, but when they did win, they did it in style. By reading all the newspapers, I am getting a really good idea of how to build a winning team. From what I have read so far, it seems to start with a good goaltender. It helped the Cougars that the Seattle Metropolitans folded at the end of the 1923-1924 season and their star goaltender, Happy Holmes became available. The young players that Lester Patrick signed in the previous few years were now seasoned veterans and all did their part.
