History

The Peninsula Panthers joined the league as an expansion team in 1996, as the Esquimalt Panthers (playing out the Naden Arena). After one season in Esquimalt, the franchise moved to North Saanich[1]. In its VIJHL history, the team has won the Cyclone Taylor Cup once, in 2011. The Panthers have won the Brent Patterson Memorial Trophy four times in 1989, 2010, 2011 and 2022. They won the Andy Hebenton Trophy five times, as the team with the league's best regular season record in 1988, 1989, 2004, 2008 and 2009.

An earlier Peninsula team, the Eagles, joined the league in the early 1980s as an expansion team but subsequently left. That franchise won a league championship in 1988.
