During their six year run, the Tigers were a consistent powerhouse, featuring a lineup that many considered a match to the National Hockey League and Pacific Coast Hockey Association. The Tigers lineup featured five future Hockey Hall of Famers: Barney Stanley, Red Dutton, Rusty Crawford, Herb Gardiner and Harry Oliver.

The Tigers won the league championship in 1923-24 and earned the right to play for the Stanley Cup. The Tigers were defeated, however, by the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 and 3-0.

When the WCHL folded in 1926, the Tigers joined four other teams to form the Prairie Hockey League. The Tigers would last only one season in the new league before folding. The PrHL would last only one more season itself. Ultimately, the expense of maintaining a team of star players was too much for the Tigers, as it was the WCHL itself a year before. Following the demise of the Tigers, Calgary would have to wait nearly 50 years before major league hockey returned in 1975 with the Calgary Cowboys of the World Hockey Association.
