History
The most recent provincial Jr. B champions to come from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League are the Peninsula Panthers in 2011, the Victoria Cougars in 2007, and the Campbell River Storm in 1999 during their dynasty of the league. No team in VIJHL history has ever won the Keystone Cup as Western Canadian champions, something accomplished multiple times by the rival Pacific International Junior Hockey League and Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
The two all-time leading teams in playoff champions hold their record in much different ways. The Kerry Park Islanders have won seven championships, but each is spread out through the league's history. The Campbell River Storm on the other hand won all seven of theirs in a row as part of a league dynasty.
In 2012, the VIJHL announced the addition of two new franchises, the Nanaimo Buccaneers, and the Westshore Wolves. The Buccaneers are the Name sake of a team that played in the VIJHL in the 1970's. The Wolves are not new to their area as well, however they are replacing a unsuccessful team (the Westshore Stingers) that folded on December 4th 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
