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
