HISTORY

Fred "Cyclone" Taylor Sr. was one of professional hockey's first superstars. While Fred was playing for the Ottawa Senators in 1907, Canada's Governor General was so impressed with his incredible Speed that he coined the name of Cyclone, and it stayed with him the rest of his life. Cyclone Taylor played in 4 Stanley Cup series during his 18 years of professional hockey. He won the cup in 1909 with Ottawa and in 1915 with the Vancouver Millionaires. The other two series Cyclone played in with the Vancouver Millionaires they lost to Toronto in 1918 and to Ottawa in 1921. Cyclone passed away in 1979 at the age of 94.

Cyclone's eldest son, Fred, started Cyclone Taylor Sports in 1957 and today with the help of his sons and daughter, the operation has grown to be western Canada's largest independent retailer.
