League: Pacific Coast Hockey Association
History: The Metropolitans, winners of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association title, earned the right to face the National Hockey Association's Montreal Canadiens under the Cup format in place at the time. All four games of the best-of-five series were played in Seattle's Ice Arena. Games one and three were played with 7-man teams (under PCHA rules) and games two and four were played using the six-man NHA rules. After losing the first game, Seattle won the next three to take the Cup. Classic barber pole design with felt crest.

Measuring Guide
We offer three kinds of ballcap visors:
Pre-1940 ballcaps were made with soft visors so players could fold them up and put them in their back pockets. Later visors were done in standard (stiff visor) or short (also a soft visor). Check the product details to see which type of visor each cap has.
