History

The Wolves were one of two expansion teams in the 2012–13 VIJHL season, 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]

In 2024, the VIJHL announced that it would withdraw from the Hockey Canada framework and operate as an independent farm league for the BCHL beginning in the 2024–25 BCHL season.^[2][3] Soon thereafter, the Westshore Wolves became the farm team of the Langley Rivermen.^[4]
