Bio/Historical Note: The Prince Albert Mintos were a professional ice hockey team in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They played in the Saskatchewan Professional Hockey League from 1909-1911. The Mintos won the league title in 1909 after the Saskatoon Stratchonas were disqualified for using ineligible players. They then played the Edmonton Pros for the Fit-Reform Trophy (Western Canadian Championship) and were defeated. The club repeated as SPHL champions in 1911, beating the Saskatoon Westerns in a playoff. They advanced to challenge for the Stanley Cup, and lost to Port Arthur Lake City 12-6 in a qualification series. The Mintos then transitioned to senior competitions, playing for the Allan Cup. The Mintos was later the name of a junior team playing in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and is now (2023) used by a team in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.
