Western Canada League

The Western Canada League was the name of three different baseball circuits in Minor league baseball which operated between 1907 and 1921.

The first was a Class-D league that played only in 1907 with four teams sponsored by four cities. The second was also classified as D league and ran from 1909 through 1914 with eleven different cities represented in its six years of existence. The third started with four teams as a Class-C in 1919 and expanded to six teams as a Class-B in 1920. The league folded after the 1921 season.
