History

The team was founded in 2008 in Squamish, British Columbia as the Squamish Wolf Pack until relocating to North Vancouver in 2011.[ citation needed ]

In the 2013–14 the team earned the most points and had their highest placing (2nd, Tom Shaw) in their division and earned their first playoff series win.[ citation needed ]

The 2014–2015 season marked the best season in franchise history winning the PJHL Division Championship beating Richmond Sockeyes by 1 point for 1st in league and in Harold Britain Conference.[ citation needed ]

In 2018 the team won its second league championship.[ citation needed ]

In 2019-20 the Wolf Pack became the first team in PJHL history to reach 40 wins in a single season.[ citation needed ]

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. [1] [2] 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. [3] 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. [4] 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. [4]
