The Quesnel Kangaroos are a senior ice hockey team in the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) based in Quesnel, British Columbia that played as an Intermediate team at least as far back as 1965. In 1979, they became a member of the now-defunct British Columbia Senior Hockey League (BCSHL). After the demise of the BCSHL (after just two seasons), the Kangaroos continued on as either an independent Senior or Intermediate club. [1] In 1993 the team played in the Allan Cup final but lost to the Whitehorse Huskies in the final game.
