Junior Hockey

In 2004, our Junior "A" Timberwolves folded their tent and moved to Okotoks. This has left a void in our community during the long winter months. The team enjoyed success at the gate. However we didn't have a sponsor with deep pockets to offset the operating costs of the team. Most expenses are incurred during road trips. Hotels, meals, and fuel add up over the course of a season.

The Kootnenay International Junior Hockey League currently has fifteen franchises. A team from the Pass would give the league an even sixteen teams, resulting in a balanced schedule. This would create a strong rivalry with the Fernie Ghostriders. Should we go after a franchise? Please cast your vote on the sidebar poll.
