In 1954, the Penticton V’s of the Okanagan Senior League won the 1954 Allan Cup, as a result they were invited to represent Canada at the 1955 World Ice Hockey Championships. With an 8-0-0 record, the V’s would become 1955 World Champions. Later, when the Vernon Canadians won the 1956 Allan Cup, they elected to not send a team to the World Championships.
