The Victoria Cougars were not in the NHL, they were in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and then in the Western Hockey League. The PCHA competed with the NHA and then the NHL for the Stanley Cup.
Victoria had major professional hockey team from 1911 to 1916 - the Senators and then Aristocrats. The team stopped playing in Victoria because the arena was needed by the military. Victoria had a team again from 1920 to 1926 first as the Aristocrats and then the Cougars.
The WHL did not last long and in the summer of 1926 the new Detroit franchise in the NHL purchased the Cougars for $100 000 - though effectively that only meant the contracts of the players. At the same the Portland Rosebuds were bought out by the new Chicago franchise in the NHL.

Can Victoria's Jamie Benn win the scoring title tonight?
Five players have a chance to win the NHL scoring title on the final day of the regular season, one of the closest races in League history.
Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and John Tavares of the New York Islanders enter the full schedule of games Saturday leading the League with 84 points. Each had one point in New York's 3-1 win at Pittsburgh on Friday, moving ahead of Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars, who has 83.
Jakub Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers has 81, and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals has 80.

“10 years later: Unique perspectives of the 2011 Stanley Cup riot”:

Some very disturbing human behaviour a reminder to double-check the true meaning of any riot/protest if any.
