	Kenora Thistles: 1907 Stanley Cup Champions
		Kenora (or Rat Portage as it was known until 1905) was one of just many Canadian midwestern boom towns that, after a hardworking summer season, felt the desire for an off-season past-time.
		Though their Stanley Cup stewardship was short, only two months, the Kenora Thistles' influence remaines undiminished, indelibly imprinted upon the formative pages of the National Hockey League.
		The city of Kenora held festivities the weekend of January 20, 2007 to pay tribute to the 1907 Stanley cup champion Kenora Thistles.

	Kenora Keewatin High School Alumni - Rat Portage Thistles first Stanley Cup attempt
		Especially, as a kid when attending the Kenora Thistles Hockey matches at the old Thistle Rink, and in my wildest aspirations I thought of the Kenora Thistles as honorable Knights on the ice with their lances and silver blades as they slew the opposition during the nifty fifties.
		Whoever, named the Kenora Thistle Team, named it well and I thank you SIR as the Order of the Thistle is not only one of the oldest of all surviving of all British Orders, but the Kenora Thistles is the oldest Hockey name out there.
		The Thistle was used by the early Kings of Scotland as their personal heraldic crest and is borne by the Arms of the Realm and by a number of ancient Scottish clans and families as part of their coats of arms.

	Legends of Hockey -- Silverware -- 1906-07Jan Stanley Cup Winner -- Kenora Thistles
		After the Montreal Wanderers had defeated the Ottawa Senators at the end of the 1906 season and had captured the Stanley Cup, it was too late in the season to face the western champions.
		Thus it was decided by the Cup Trustees that Montreal would face the Kenora Thistles (previously known as the Rat Portage Thistles) in a two-game, total-goal series midway through the ECAHA season.
		Drawing 55 minutes in penalties, compared to the Thistles' 30, Montreal couldn't quite come back and Kenora became the smallest town (population 4,000) to capture the Stanley Cup, with an 8-6 victory.

	Reverberations
		I had heard it was because local folks decided it would be embarrassing to have Rat Portage engraved on the Stanley Cup if their beloved Thistles hockey team were to defeat its arch-rivals, the Ottawa Silver Seven.
		The Rat Portage Thistles challenged the Silver Seven for the Cup in 1903 and 1905, but it was the Kenora Thistles that gained the Cup in 1907, defeating the Montreal Wanderers.
		The pictures not only are a tribute to Carl Linde’s artistic genius but are especially authentic for those of us who are old enough to have seen much of what he portrayed.

	Stanley Cup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Donated by Governor General Lord STANLEY in 1893 for presentation to the amateur hockey champions of Canada, it was first awarded to Montreal AAA (1892-93) and except for 1918-19 (owing to an influenza epidemic) it has been presented every year since.
		Before professional hockey concentrated the sport in a few large urban centres, the cup was contested under a variety of formats and was captured by such far-flung teams as Winnipeg Victorias (1895-96, 1900-01), Ottawa Silver Seven (1902-03, 1903-04, 1904-05), Kenora Thistles (1906-07), the Vancouver Millionaires (1914-15), Seattle Metropolitans (1916-17) and Victoria Cougars (1924-25).
		A professional team (the original OTTAWA SENATORS) first won the cup in 1909 and in 1926 it came under the exclusive control of the NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE.

		In 1903, the Rat Portage Thistles lost the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, perhaps because of players who were "sent to the fence for scrapping." They lost again in 1905.
		In 1907, the team played as the Kenora Thistles, as the town of Rat Portage, Ontario had decided it needed a name more pleasing to the Gods as well as to investors and other outsiders.
		Maybe it's a coincidence, but that year, the Thistles won the cup.
