History

The team originally was known as the Aldergrove Kodiaks when it debuted as an expansion franchise in 2008. In its PJHL history, the team has won the PJHL championship three times, in 2010, 2014 and 2017. In 2012–13, the Kodiaks won the Brittain Conference title and qualified for the PJHL finals, where they lost to the Richmond Sockeyes.

The 2024–25 PJHL season saw the Kodiaks lose all 48 of their regular season games becoming the first team in PJHL history to record a season without a single point in the standings.^{[ citation needed ]}
