History

The Storm play in the VIJHL, a Junior B hockey league on Vancouver Island consisting of 9 teams. The team began play in the 1997-98 season and went on to capture the Patterson Memorial Trophy as playoff champions in its first season.[2] They would win the trophy 6 more times in a row, then reach the finals the following 2 seasons, losing in six games to the Victoria Cougars in 2005, then again in 6 games to the Kerry Park Islanders in 2006.

They have played in 9 Cyclone Taylor Cup tournaments, winning it twice in 1999 and 2015 and silver in 2017. In 2004 they hosted it, losing to the Richmond Sockeyes of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League in the finals. In 2019, they will once again be the hosts of the Cyclone Taylor Cup.

Three times they have played in the Keystone Cup, capturing bronze in 1999 in Thunder Bay, Ontario, taking silver as hosts in 2006, and winning gold in 2015 in Cold Lake, Alberta. They play out of the Strathcona Gardens Complex in Campbell River, in Rod Brind'Amour Arena. They were previously owned and coached by Jim Revenberg, who was selected in the 7th round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Vancouver Canucks,.[3] Current owner is Linda Lahtinen (2011–Present).[4]
