Pacific Coast Hockey League
The Pacific Coast Hockey League was an ice hockey minor league with teams in the western United States and western Canada that existed in several incarnations: from 1928 to 1931, from 1936 to 1941, and from 1944 to 1952.

The first incarnation of the PCHL had four teams and lasted three seasons. Brothers Frank Patrick and Lester Patrick, financed by their wealthy lumberman father Joseph Patrick founded it and operated franchises in Vancouver and Victoria, with Frank, one of the founders the Pacific Coast Hockey Association as president. The Victoria Cubs' Arena was destroyed by fire in 1929, after which the club continued for the season and disbanded.

PCHL 1936-1941
From 1931 to 1936, no league called the PCHL existed, although teams from the first PCHL joined the Western Canada Hockey League or the North West Hockey League. In 1936, the Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver franchises of the North West Hockey League joined with an Oakland team to re-form the Pacific Coast Hockey League. The Oakland team relocated to Spokane in its first year. The Spokane team disbanded for the 1939-40 season, but reappeared the next year as the Spokane Bombers.

Generating slowly
Into somekind of a wave of a trance
I'm reancting madly
If I was home
I wouldn't be late to tell you
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell melove
Ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
But it sure feels good!
Must be something in the air that I breathe
That affects me wildly
And to put it as it makes my blood seethe
Is to express it mildly
Oh no, oh no!
I wouldn't dream of dreaming that dream....
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell me love
Ain't this desire
I can'ttell love from desire
