History
The Elks are five-time Western Canadian Brewers Cup champions. They won the Junior C tournament in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2013 against comparable teams from across Western Canada. The Elks were also 2010 finalists.
In 2008, the team changed their name from the Nipigon Elks to the Nip-Rock Elks. The name change has to do with a new agreement with the neighbouring town of Red Rock, Ontario.

—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
