[edit] History

The team was founded by Eddie Mountain, of whom a KIJHL division was recently named. The team won three straight KIJHL championships in the late 1980's and in 1989 took home the Cyclone Taylor Cup under the direction of Tom Renney, who went on to coach the Vancouver Canucks and Team Canada.

The Columbia Valley Rockies lost Round 1 in the playoffs against the Sicamous Eagles in the 2007-08 season.
