That one game left the Canadians thirsting for more, and less than three years after the 1924 team sailed from Auckland in August 1924, another team returned for a full slate of 22 games on both the North and South Islands. The result was remarkable: 19 wins, one tie and just two defeats. Victoria alderman Jim Adam was once again the tour manager, and, as in the tour of Australia, is credited with the success of the venture. The team sailed from Victoria, B.C., on May 24, 1927, once again on the S.S. Niagara and returned on August 22. Accounts of the tour appear in the Vancouver Sun, written by Dave Turner and in the Montreal Star, written by Hank Noseworthy. The team to tour New Zealand was announced on January 13, 1927.
