Calgary Hillhurst FC wrestled the Dominion of Canada Championship honours west to the province of Alberta for the first time in 1922. Calgary won the two-match, total goals series 2-1 over Toronto Ulster United FC, with all three goals scored in the opening match. In reaching the Canadian Final, Calgary Hillhurst FC eliminated Nanaimo FC and United Weston FC before continuing east to Toronto.
Back home, the Calgary Daily Herald “arranged for a rapid bulletin service on the match” at First Street West. The hosts Toronto, meanwhile, were reduced to nine men through injuries in each half. Despite their “no surrender” attack, Toronto’s Red Handers just couldn’t score an equaliser. Calgary had their chances, too, but couldn’t add to their 2-1 series lead in the Saturday heat.
After the Saturday win, Calgary returned home and were celebrated with a Thursday parade, a Friday luncheon, and a Saturday smoker.
