The Regina Victorias (often shortened to Vics) were two ice hockey teams, one at the senior level (1914–1938) and one at the junior level (1917–1921), based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The senior Vics played in the Allan Cup finals three times, winning the Allan Cup in their first (1914) appearance. The senior Victorias were six-time winners of the Saskatchewan Senior Championship, while the junior Victorias were two-time winners of the Saskatchewan Junior championship.

Senior team

The Victorias competed in the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League (SSHL). They were SSHL champions in their first season, 1913–14, going on to win that year's Allan Cup as national champions.^[1] The Vics won their second SSHL championship two season later, but lost the challenge for the 1915–16 Allan Cup. The Victorias took a break in 1917–18 because of World War I.

After the war they won the SSHL Championship in 1918–19, 1920–21, 1921–22, 1924–25, 1925–26, and 1928–29. They only managed to make the Allan Cup final once – in 1921–22.

Their fortunes went steadily downhill. The Victorias faced on-ice and box office competition in their own city from the Regina Aces.^{[citation needed]} The Victorias and Aces amalgamated into the same team as of the 1939–40 season, with the Aces' Al Pickard as team president and Victorias' coach Duke Dutkowski behind the bench.^[2]
