This article covers the senior team. For the junior team of the same name, please see Melville Millionaires (junior).
The Melville Millionaires were a senior team in Melville, Saskatchewan.
The Millionaires burst on the scene in 1914-15, winning the Saskatchewan senior title and taking the Allan Cup from the defenders, the Regina Victorias. That was under the rules of the time.
They then disappeared from the scene until 1923-24, when they won the provincial title again. They lost in the 1923-24 Western Canada Allan Cup Playoffs.
The next time they stick around for 6 seasons (1925-26 to 1930-31) but won no titles.
For many of the next 20 years, Melville was represented by intermediate teams.
The next senior team started up in 1950-51 in the Saskatchewan Senior League. The Millionaires won the league title in 1951-52 but lost out in the 1951-52 Western Canada Allan Cup Playoffs. The team folded as a senior team in 1954. There have been no more ressurections. The team would play at the Intermediate level in the Northeastern Saskatchewan Hockey League for the 1954-55 season.
