Western Canada League

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

The first instance of the league was a Class D circuit that played only in 1907 with four teams sponsored by four cities. The second instance was also a Class D league, which ran from 1909 through 1914 with 11 different cities represented in its six years of existence. The third instance started with four teams at the Class C level in 1919, expanded to six teams in Class B in 1920, and subsequently folded after the 1921 season.
