Cec's U-Drive won the 1949 Canadian Senior "A" women's basketball championship. They were truly products of the Victoria minor basketball system with Flo and Marion Kennedy, Mary Peden, Rita Kaltenback, Marg LeLacheur and Kay Trevelyan having coming up through the system. In 1945-46, their first year in the Senior " A" ranks, they went undefeated until the B.C. finals. Evelyn Stoltz of Duncan was added to the team the following season but again, the Victoria girls went to the B.C. final only to be denied. But in 1948-49, after securing sponsorship from Cec's, the talented team finally put it all together to go all the way to being the best in the country. After winning the B.C. crown and then dispatching the Edmonton Mortons in the Western Canada final, the girls from Cec's were ready to host the defending champion Toronto Montgomery Maids in the Canadian final. This fine group of seven players coached by Hank Rowe culminated their dream march to the top with a 3-0 series sweep and the Canadian championship.

In some ways, we can thank Dan O'Sullivan for the legion of Victoria rowers that have won great acclaim on the world stage as Olympic medallists. He was one of the seminal influences in the creation of the sport through the James Bay Athletic Association in the 1880's. Dan was the stroke rower on JBAA's "Big Four" crew that laid claim to six straight North Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen titles beginning in 1895. He went on to compete in singles and doubles events but his main efforts were in coaching. Throughout his 36 years of coaching and sporting determination, he and the "Bays" dominated rowing in the Pacific Northwest and they were legendary in the sport across the country at the time of his death in 1933.
