History

Their first season in the WWHL was in 2008-09 and its team founders were Samantha Holmes and Brigitte Lessard^[2]. The idea to start her own team stemmed from the fact that there were many elite hockey players in Calgary, but not all of them had the opportunity to play for the Calgary Oval X-Treme. Holmes and Lessard founded the Strathmore Rockies so that elite level players in Alberta would have another team to compete for. Holmes also handled the day-to-day tasks of running the Strathmore team. Part of her accomplishments included player scouting, sponsorship and marketing campaigns to operate the team. She is also captain of the Rockies and runs local skills clinics in Calgary for young women's players.^[3]

Coming next season

For 2011-12 season, the Strathmore Rockies and Edmonton Chimos will combine to form the Alberta entry into the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL). The new team will play in different locations in Alberta depending on what will make sense for the new team. Despite what the press release states, the team will most likely be based out of both Calgary and Edmonton to accommodate all of western Canada's elite female players ^[4] ^[5] ^[6].
