A century may have passed since the Victoria Cougars hoisted the Stanley Cup, but the memory of their historic win in 1925 now lives on in a place few would expect 香蕉视频直播� under a plastic dome in downtown Vancouver.

The BC Sports Hall of Fame recently unveiled a one-of-a-kind bubble hockey game that pits the 1925 Cougars against the 1915 Vancouver Millionaires in what it calls the 香蕉视频直播淏ritish Columbia Historical Classic.香蕉视频直播�

Visitors can lace up their fingers and go head-to-head on the miniature ice in a tribute to the province香蕉视频直播檚 only two Stanley Cup champions.

香蕉视频直播淚t was just perfect timing,香蕉视频直播� said Jason Beck, curator and facility director at the BC Sports Hall of Fame. 香蕉视频直播淲e were already planning to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cougars香蕉视频直播� Stanley Cup win, then this call comes out of the blue in November from a conference organizer.香蕉视频直播�

That organizer was Dr. Robert O香蕉视频直播機onnor, a Metchosin family physician and hockey history enthusiast who built the customized Super Chexx Pro game in his garage to mark the Cougars香蕉视频直播� centennial. It debuted at a medical conference at the Vancouver Convention Centre last fall and was later donated to the Hall.

香蕉视频直播淭hey didn香蕉视频直播檛 even tell us exactly what it was,香蕉视频直播� Beck said. 香蕉视频直播淛ust that there was a bubble hockey game available after the conference, and asked if we wanted it. We figured it couldn香蕉视频直播檛 be more used than the one we already had.香蕉视频直播�

When it arrived, staff were stunned.

香蕉视频直播淚t looked brand new,香蕉视频直播� Beck said. 香蕉视频直播淭urns out only about 100 people used it over three days. So it香蕉视频直播檚 basically like buying a car and someone香蕉视频直播檚 just driven it around the block.香蕉视频直播�

It also travelled back to Victoria in March for a celebration of the Victoria Cougars winning the Cup.

The game香蕉视频直播檚 attention to detail goes far beyond what you'd expect from a typical bubble hockey setup.

Each player is hand-painted in the correct uniform 香蕉视频直播� sky blue and gold for the Cougars, and maroon and cream for the Millionaires 香蕉视频直播� and labelled with names and numbers of actual players from the era. That means fans can face off with hockey legends from both sides, such as Cyclone Taylor of the Millionaires and Frank Frederickson of the Cougars. 

香蕉视频直播淵ou香蕉视频直播檝e probably got seven or eight Hall of Famers on the ice,香蕉视频直播� Beck said. 香蕉视频直播淎nd most people don香蕉视频直播檛 realize Victoria was the last B.C. team to win the Stanley Cup. That blows people away.香蕉视频直播�

A mini Jumbotron suspended above the rink displays 香蕉视频直播淧atrick Arena香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播� a nod to the Victoria rink that once hosted the Cougars. There香蕉视频直播檚 a pre-game national anthem, crowd noise, a goal siren, and even a voice-over by Vancouver broadcaster Blake Price calling the action.

The machine's base is wrapped with a rich historical display, including old photographs and facts about the Pacific Coast Hockey Association 香蕉视频直播� the league founded by the Patrick brothers, who brought numerous innovations to the game. Blue lines, jersey numbers, even goaltenders dropping to their knees 香蕉视频直播� all of it started in Victoria and Vancouver.

香蕉视频直播淭he impact the Patrick's had on the game is still felt today,香蕉视频直播� Beck said. 香蕉视频直播淭o have this game showcasing all that history, it香蕉视频直播檚 just a perfect fit.香蕉视频直播�

The installation is free to play for anyone visiting the Hall of Fame, located at Gate A of BC Place Stadium. Beck hopes it offers a dose of nostalgia and a fresh spark of curiosity.

香蕉视频直播淭hese were two teams that changed the game,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淣ow anyone can come down, give it a spin, and relive a piece of that story.香蕉视频直播�
