Team History
 
 

Founded in the 1997-1998 season the original name of the hockey club was the Renegades. The hockey club competed during the first three seasons as the Renegades. The highlight of the first three seasons was a division championship in the summer of 1998.

After the 1999-2000 season, the core members of the hockey club determined in order for the club to improve and become more competitive, the team would need to restructure the membership of the hockey club. It was agreed that going into the 2000-2001 season the hockey club would take on a new nickname along with a new attitude.

In 2000 the Ironmen Hockey Club name was born when the founding members agreed, that the new name of the hockey team should reflect the type of organization we are, the character of our membership and the brand of hockey we play. The founding members of the hockey club have recorded consecutive game "ironman streaks" of 221, 200 and 139 games respectively with the Ironmen Hockey Club and its' former incarnation. Defensemen Steve Meadows' has an active consecutive game streak of 221 games. This is how the name of the Ironmen Hockey Club was selected.

During the first year with Ironmen name in the 2000-2001 season the team had an excellent playoff run and finished as the division runner-up. The Ironmen earned the right to represent their division in the Regional Championships.

The 2001-2002 season was highlighted with the launch of the team website in February 2002. In May of 2002 the Ironmen embarked on the first out of town tournament in club history participating in the Annual Whistler Summit Series Hockey Tournament.

In 2002-2003 after a one-year absence the team made it's return to the playoffs. The club also competed in a higher caliber division. In June 2003 the club made it's second consecutive trip to Whistler for the Whistler Summit Series Hockey Tournament improving their record from the previous year.

After six seasons the Ironmen Hockey Club continues to progress on and off the ice. The hockey club strives to provide a complete and rewarding hockey experience for its membership.

The last three seasons the hockey club has significantly improved both the skill level and comradery of the team. This was achieved by adding talented players with character and integrity that believe the only way to be successful as a team is to put the team first.
