Dumb Facts
- Baseball great Larry Walker once tried out for the Regina Pats as a goaltender.
- The Pats' record holder for Points, Goals and Assists in a Career, Dale Derkatch did not play one NHL game, mainly because of his size. At the end of his hockey career, Dale was 5'5, and 135 lbs.
- The Pats own the CHL RECORD for the longest losing streak of 36 games from October 23, 1976 through January 23, 1977, and the CHL RECORD for the longest winless streak on the road(NOT surprised) with 36 games from October 3, 1976 through March 27, 1977
- At least we have the 2nd most consecutive 40 win seasons ever in the CHL with 7 from 1979-80 to 1985-86. As you can tell, the pats are an up and down franchise when it comes to performance.
-The Regina Pats are the oldest major junior hockey franchise in the world that have continuously operated from their original location and use the same name.
