The Canadian Junior League was age restricted to men 18-21-years-old, with a few exceptions made during periods of instability allowing 22-year olds to play.  A secondary division was operated as well meant as a "stepping stone" for players generally in the 17-18-year-old range, however, could have players as young as 15.  Because of the 18-year-old overlap, there are some instances where a player could take part in both "juvenile" games and "junior" games if his club had affiliations with both teams.  The Vancouver Wildcats, later North Shore Wildcats would become such a "feeder" for the Lions/Cougars over the years.  Some players even joined the University of British Columbia collegiate team for a season or two, and could return to play a final year of junior football if they met the age restriction.

North Shore got its start in 1932 under teenager George Deacon, considered a pioneer of football in British Columbia.  The first team would not carry a mascot, but would be referenced as the Pioneers in 1933 and played in the independent city divisions of intermediate and senior football with aspirations to join the "Big Four" League of Vancouver.  The North Vancouver squad was an immediate impact.  Defeating the Meralomas, North Shore would not be declared "league" champions as they shared the top spot with the 'Lomas, but they did get a shot at the Nelson Thistles for the British Columbia Inter-City title and the Dr. Walter Sturdy Cup.  Defeating Nelson, North Shore had completed a 4-1-2 season and immediately rolled into the 1933 spring season.  They won that too and went undefeated in the split seasons of 1933 winning both the spring and fall sessions.  This got North Shore into the Big Four League for 1934, but now had to adhere to the age restrictions which the Lions struggled with against the established teams which had their juvenile league feeder teams already established.  The Meralomas had senior, junior and juvenile teams that players would "gradaute" into as they progessed in skill and age, some starting as young as 14-15 through 21 as a junior and into their mid-twenties on senior and intermediate teams.

Harry Bullock was the two-way star of the 1935 Lions team at the young age of 17.

Following the 1936 season, the Big Four briefly became the "Two".  The University of BC Varsity began intercollegiate play in 1937 and the Vancouver Athletic Club team shut down, with players joining North Shore along with coach Molly Small.  A third team was acquired in the Knights of Columbus "KC Fighting Irish", and surprisingly, the Varsity returned for one more partial season.

Securing the Big Four championship in 1937, North Shore would repeat in 1938 but not without controversy on the way.  Defeating the UBC Thunderbird Varsity 7-6, a protest ensued due to Varsity point being taken away in a rule dispute.  The league would wipe the game and force it to be replayed.  The Lions would convincingly defeat the collegians to secure the back-to-back titles.  A third game was discussed to be played after Christmas at the request of the UBC team to win back the title, but no game result has been located.

When 1939 kicked off, North Shore was depleted with no less than ten former champions of the past two seasons out along with George Deacon in Victoria starting a new team.  Bill Lindsay and Frank Hindle joined the navy, Jack Brandon joined the police, while Jock Taylor and others were off working across British Columbia.  The war in Europe was also threatening to bleed players off the gridirons and into military service.

The Big Four dwindled to the "Big Two" as the 1940 season approached and it was late into September with still no plans for league play.  Garney Smith had already given the Lions uniforms to the high schoolers, but hoped for the use of them on-loan should the need arise.   The team would combine with the Knights of Columbus for an October 5th kickoff against Victoria, but was replaced under a new banner.  Norm Modine, Garney Smith, Stan Laycock, Alf Milstead and Eric Smith joined the newly formed Vancouver Bulldogs.  The Bulldogs, would last through the 1941 season, before splintering once again.

The Lions would return in 1941 as a Junior League team.  Jack Horne, Stan Laycock, Garnie Smith, would be among those recruited by the newly formed "pro" Vancouver Grizzlies which lasted just one season of play in the thee-team Western Inter-Provincial Football Union under coach Greg Kabat.  Jack Horne scored the lone touchdown in the Grizzly season.

Harry Bullock would be wounded in Italy during World War II.  James Burns (1936-7) was killed in Holland in 1945.

The team would make its return for good in 1946 with Harry Bullock leading his former team in the junior ranks.

The 1948 team felt adversity after defeating CYO it was learned the University of British Columbia was courting Audber French to play collegiate ball with them, UBC would decide he was ineligible and the fullback returned to the Lions.  Later, a 6-0 win over the Blue Bombers was thrown out after it was discovered starting quarterback Pete Moffet was over the age limit.  The teams faced off in a replay the following week with the Bombers winning 9-0 and claiming the league title.

When the Calgary Stampeders won the 1949 Canadian Football League championship, former Lions Frankie French and Greg Bjarnson were among the champions.  Leo Lund was part of the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.

Low in numbers, Coach Carl Krisko's Lions opened the 1951 season against the Meralomas with an allowance of six over aged players.  The league made the allowance to avoid the "Big Four" League from degrading to the Big Two.

Opening the 1954 season with a dominant 41-1 win over the Meralomas, speedy Sonny Homer was quickly snatched up by Vancouver College after scoring two touchdowns.  The following week he scored twice for the Irish in his American-rules debut with Vancouver College.

Changing names from "Lions" to "Cougars" for the 1956 season, Coach Bill Ewing, former Calgary Stampeder (1953) relied on the Walls brothers as the primary offensive weapons and used good defense to cope with the Bombers high scoring offense.  Ewing would step down prior to 1957 with assistant Roy Gardner, former Winnipeg Blue Bomber, taking the head coaching reigns for 1957.

Cece Stevenson and Doug Walls would age out of the junior ranks and join the Oak Bay Drakes in the B.C. Intermediate League for 1958.  Bill Ewing would return to coach after a year away in the high school ranks, with Gardner taking over the Capilano Athletic Club, assisted by former Calgary Stampede all-star end Keith Gibson and Leo Lund.  The Cougars applied to and were accepted into the B.C. Intermediate League in February 1958 and would be listed as the North Vancouver Cougars making two teams, one for under-21 players and one for over-21 players.  The over-21 team would be coached by Bud Swain.

One of the best Cougar teams ever, North Shore battled the Blue Bombers to dual 7-7 ties during the season finishing in second-place in league standings.  But that changed in the playofs.  5,500 fans watched the Cougars defeat the Bombers 21-7, and finally claim the BC Junior Championship on October 25th, 1959 earning a shot at the Western Canada title, taking on the Alberta champion Edmonton Huskies.  During that game 11,000 fans watched a thrilling 9-8 victory by the Cougars setting up a battle with defending champion Saskatoon for the Canadian Junior Championship.  In December, the Cougars were presented with the first Art Richardson Memorial Trophy awarded to the winner of the British Columbia - Alberta champions.  Tom Walker and Ray Wickman received tryouts with the B.C. Lions in June of 1960.  Walker would end up as one of the noted outstanding freshmen guards at the University of Iowa.

1960 was once again a battle between the Cougars and Bombers.  The Cougars claimed the regular season crown, but in the Championship playoff, it took four-overtimes before Vancouver broke the 7-7 deadlock.  The Bombers took two-overtimes the week prior to overcome the Meralomas to get to the title game.  The Canadian-single, kicking the ball through the endzone, scored the win for the Bombers with just over a minute remaining in the fourth overtime for the 8-7 final.  John McKenzie picked off five passes in the first two games of the season including three against the Meralomas to preserve an 8-0 win. 

The 1961 All-Star selections along with 28 other top Big-Four League players would take on Everett Junior College on November 25th, 1961.  Everett would win 14-0 in a defensive showcase.  Cougar quarterback Tom Hardy would be picked off four times.  Everett featured Tom Hulett leading the Trojan offense.  Hulett would go on be the second-all-time passing TD leader with the Seattle Ramblers and captain the 1965 Edmonds Warriors undefeated North Pacific League Championship team.  John McKenzie would get a look with the BC Lions before returning in 1962.  All-Star Peter Lewis would join the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in 1962.

Murray McLellan was a scoring machine in 1962.  In eight games, McLellan scored a Big-Four League record 18 touchdowns including a blazing 105-yard second-half opening kickoff return on Oct 7th.  Punter John McEnzie kept the All-Star team in the game against Everett Junior College in the 1962 Shriners Evergreen Bowl as the all-stars could get no offense going in an 8-0 loss.  McLellan, unable to get a spot with the UBC Thunderbirds made his way to the Vancouver Millionaires of the Intermediate League in 1964.

North Shore found themselves in a newly designed playoff system in 1963 where the championship would be decided in a 2-game total points playoff.  The Cougars got thumped in the first game, won the second game, but could not overcome the points deficit losing the series 30-22 and the Big Four Championship.  Following the season, the Junior All-Stars again played the Everett Junior College team in the 3rd Annual Evergreen Bowl.  The Stars got smoked 53-13.  Cougar QB Lefty Hendrickson passed to Bill Miller for a touchdown, while legendary Blue Bomber coach Lorne Cullen, a GNFA Hall of Famer singled out fullback Ben Stapleton as the best player on the field for the All-Stars.  Stapleton had earned a BC Lions rookie camp invite back in April, 1963.

Frank Gilliam would fully take over coaching duties for the 1965 season from Bill Ewing. Ewing compiled a 46-26-3 record, won two Big Four Regular Season crowns, the 1959 BC Junior Championship, BC-Alberta Championship and the 1959 Canadian Junior National Champion Runners-up.  Gilliam would be hired in December 1965 to return to the University of Iowa where he starred as a player and was later selected as on the 100th Anniversary all-Hawkeye team as a starting end.  Frank was the first black assistant coach at Iowa. 

Larry Reda would take over the coaching duties for 1966 and led the Cougars to a 6-1 start and the Big Four Regular Season title.  However, North Shore collapsed down the stretch losing four straight games including the 2-game championship series to the Meralomas when offensive firepower fizzled.  Little used fullback Joe Bell would grow into a starter for Simon Fraser University and lead the team in rushing during the 1969 season.

The 1970 suffered their worst defeat in an 82-0 smashing at the hands of the Meralomas in the season finale and 40-0 follow up loss the next week to the same 'Loma team.

Marty Smith led the team in rushing in 1971 with 462 yards on 76 carries while Al Embley caught 18 passes for 473 yards on their way to All-Big Four honors.

Graham Christian picked about the Blue Bombers in 1974 for almost 400-yards passing in a 17-7 victory.

The 1975 season finale loss to the Meralomas turned into a 1-0* forfeit victory after Vancouver used ineligible players Steve Holmes and Andre Hetherington.

In the mid-1970's, the Junior League began operating an "A" Division and a "B" Division.

Opening the 1976 season, former Toronto quarterback Pat Lamana single-handedly scored 15 of 16 points in a 16-15 upset of the Meralomas.  The Cougars high hopes for Lamana went by the wayside after game 2 when he returned to Toronto and Greg Smith took over QB duties.

North Shore would not enter a team in the Big Four League for the 1978 season.

The 1980 Cougars defeated first-year American semi-pro West Seattle Hornets (Warhawks) 20-13 but fell to the Simon Fraser JVs during a 3-7 season where North Shore went scoreless through the final three regular season games.

A battle ensued in British Columbia Supreme Court over the Big Four League deciding to drop North Shore from Tier 1 status to the Tier 2 "juvenile" level or "B" Division.  The Surrey Rams were likewise demoted by the Board of Directors in February 1981.  The league stated it was an effort to make the Big Four more competitive with eastern teams bringing in the Okanagan Sun out of Kelowna for the 1981 season.  In July, Coach Bill Bowes stated the 38-members of the team planned to stick together a find an alternative league to play with.

The creative solution for North Shore's problem was found in joining forces and resurrecting the Vancouver Blue Bomber franchise that had shut down in 1970 and playing with the American semi-pros in the Northwest International Football League.  Glen Low manager of the Canadian team that played two games south of the border in 1980 as the "Panthers" got together with Coach Bowes and arranged Griffin Park as the new home and use of Cougar equipment.  This new team would be a "senior" division team with no upper limit age restrictions.  The new Bombers started with 41 players including former Big Four, Simon Fraser and University of British Columbia grads.  1971 Greater Northwest semi-pro Player of the Year Glen Faustman, a former British Columbia Charger, became head coach.

Spanning nearly 50-years, the North Shore sported the Lions/Cougars franchise claiming eight league titles and playing over 250 games while sending numberous players to the collegiate and Canadian Football League ranks over the years.
