1922
Following the British Columbia campaign, organizers met April 21-22 to create a provincial basketball governing body to oversee the sport and provincial championships at all levels. There were well over a dozen leagues, each holding a bewildering array of playoffs. Those included various city and district leagues, a Sunday School League, various local religious demonination leagues and various military leagues. Others included the Dewdney League, the Westminster League, the Federal League, the Ladies A & B Leagues, the Inter-Church league, etc.. Some teams played in multiple leagues and multiple postseason playoffs. Occasionally, inter-league championships were held. In short, absolute hoops chaos within the province.
