History
Montreal St Francois Xavier was first an intermediate, then a senior team in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
They first showed up as a team in the Montreal Hockey League in 1919-20. But their best years were in the Mount Royal Intermediate League starting in 1923-24.
They won the league title in 1925-26 and then, depsite being an intermediate club, won the 1926-27 Quebec Senior Playoffs. Unfortunately they had to default out of the 1926-27 Eastern Canada Allan Cup Playoffs beacause of the lateness of the season.
After taking a two year hiatus, they again won the league title in 1928-29 and then won the 1928-29 Quebec Senior Playoffs. Amazingly they also won the 1928-29 Eastern Canada Allan Cup Playoffs, the first intermediate team to do so. They lost the 1928-29 Allan Cup Final to Port Arthur.
St Francois Xavier won the next two league titles but were narrowly beaten out both times in the Quebec senior playoffs. (see 1929-30 Quebec Senior Playoffs & 1930-31 Quebec Senior Playoffs). In 1931-32 they lost the league final,
In 1932-33 the Mount Royal League was elevated to senior. St Francois again won the league title but lost the 1932-33 Quebec Senior Playoffs.
The Mount Royal Senior League merged with the Montreal Senior Group for the 1933-34 season. St Francois finished in fifth place and out of the playoffs. That was their last season.
