History
The original Chilliwack Jets (1965–71) team was one of the original six teams in the Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL), which was then called the West Coast Junior Hockey League. The present-day Chilliwack Jets debuted as an expansion team in the 2020–21 PCHL season, however the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2] [3]
In 2025, the league announced plans to promote the Chilliwack Jets, Coastal Tsunami, Delta Ice Hawks, Grandview Steelers, Langley Trappers, Richmond Sockeyes and Ridge Meadows Flames to a new Tier 1 division beginning in the 2025–26 season. [4] [5] Under the plan, the Abbotsford Pilots, Aldergrove Ironmen, Mission City Outlaws, North Vancouver Wolf Pack, Port Coquitlam Trailblazers, Port Moody Panthers, Surrey Knights and White Rock Whalers would remain as Tier 2, as well as a planned expansion team to be based in Cloverdale. [6] However, when the plan was put to the franchise owners for a vote, it failed to pass by the required two-thirds majority, with 8 members voting for and 7 voting against. [7] The vote was divided between the franchises that had been selected for promotion, who voted in favour of the motion, and those not selected for promotion, who voted against it. [7]
