The Victoria Travellers Football Club was a Canadian football that played in the British Columbia Rugby Football Union and the Western Canada Rugby Football Union from 1926 to 1933.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The team was sponsored by the Order of United Commercial Travelers, a service organization known for its good works, which had recently expanded into Canada.[5] The sponsorship ended in 1928 but the club continued on under another name.[6]
The Victoria Travellers Football Club won the first BCRFU championship, their only one in 8 seasons.
The team was renamed Capitals in 1929, and lasted to 1933. A popular sports club, it fielded several other sports teams.[7]
The final BCRFU team in Victoria was the Revellers, playing in 1939 and 1940 and winning the championship in the league's final season.
