Known for its mining and hockey, among other things, Phoenix B.C. loomed large from 1891 to 1919, situated 4,630 feet above sea level near Greenwood, B.C.
In 1911, Phoenix’s hockey team won the provincial championship. That same year, the team asked for the right to challenge for the Stanley Cup, professional hockey’s all-time prize for supremacy, but were told their request came a little too late to qualify. As well, some local historians believe Phoenix was home to the first women’s hockey team, which advertised itself as “the world’s first skirt and leg exhibition.” from http://www.ghosttownpix.com/bc/phoenix.html
Have fun viewing the photos!

Couple of corrections to make….the Phoenix Team won the Provincials and lobbied to play for the cup in 1911 (I’ve contacted the HockeyGods site on this as well), and the photo from 1907 is of Grand Forks, not Phoenix. The house in the right foreground still exists, and the mountain in the center background is Observatory Mountain. The water body flowing from right to left is the Granby River….Phoenix had no similar water bodies anywhere near it. Thanks.
C. Stevenson: I have made the correction regarding the Phoenix team. As for the photo from 1907, being of Grand Forks: if you had opened your eyes, and looked at the credit for the picture, you would have realized it was not I who made the mistake. Please ensure that before you accuse, that you are sure of your facts. Thanks
