History
The Wolves were one of two expansion teams in 2012-13 for the VIJHL, the other being the Nanaimo Buccaneers. In three seasons, the Wolves have done relatively well, finishing top three in their division every year. As with many expansion franchises, they have slowly gained momentum and become a strong team within a few years..[1]
