Vancouver Knights of Columbus football team

No sooner had the Vancouver Athletic Club team disbanded, than a couple days later the Knights of Columbus football team was founded, with most of their players.[5] While the players were very much the same, the team was supported by the venerable service organization and was a distinctively separate club. Unfortunately, the KoC team did not enjoy any of the previous success, and ceased play after three seasons, from 1937 to 1939.
