The Vancouver Athletic Club football team (the Wolves) was a Canadian football team that played in the British Columbia Rugby Football Union and the Western Canada Rugby Football Union from 1929 to 1936. [1] [2] [3] [4] The team was part of the popular and successful Vancouver Athletic Club, which fielded teams in several other sports.
The Vancouver Athletic Club were a very successful team, winning 3 championships in 8 seasons.

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.
