The Eagles Organization

"provide all our players with a first class experience and atmosphere in which to play junior hockey"

As a non-profit organization, the Eagles hockey club consists of many activities within the organization including support staff, programming, volunteers, billet parents as well as corporate sponsors who all play an essential role in providing our players with a first class experience and atmosphere in which to play junior hockey. As our coaching and player development staff begin another exciting season in the KIJHL, they feel strongly committed to a template for success that will make the Eagles an extremely attractive place for players to begin and develop their junior hockey career.

Room and Board

All out-of-town players are provided with room and board. Players are placed in carefully selected homes and these families are generally involved in some aspect of our Club. They take great interest in the player on and off the ice. During winter months many local businesses assist players with part-time jobs that fit within the other time demands of practice, school and road/home games.

Hockey Equipment

The hockey club covers many of the expenses incurred during the year including meals on road trips. The team also provides equipment and supplies such as helmets, pants, gloves, sweater and socks as well as the sticks and tape for each player.

Our League

The KIJHL is going into it's 40th year of operation and a lot has happened since the first puck was dropped back in September of 1967. It was the start of the West Kootenay Junior Hockey League. Castlegar, Trail, Rossland, Grand Forks and Nelson were the first teams. The first season saw the Trail Jr. Smoke Eaters win the league, and advance to the BC Championship. The Eagles joined the KIJHL in 1994.

There are currently 16 teams in four divisions that play a 52 game regular season schedule.

KIJHL Champions:
2005/06 Sicamous Eagles
2006/07 Fernie Ghost Riders
2007/08 Fernie Ghost Riders

The Official Jersey, Under Gear, and Logo Wear Supplier of the KIJHL

Our Volunteers

One of the most important functions of any junior hockey organization is the work of volunteers who put in more than 3,000 hours every single year to ensure the Sicamous Eagles hockey club can operate. Quite simply, without these people there would be no team.
