Virden Oil Capitals

History

The Oil Capitals were created in the spring of 2012, when a group of local investors purchased the Winnipeg Saints franchise and relocated it to Virden to play at newly constructed Tundra Oil & Gas Place. The franchise was founded as the Winnipeg Rangers in 1956 and has won five Turnbull Cups as league champions, twice as the Rangers (1961, 1966) and three times at the St. Boniface Saints (1971, 1981, 1994).
