History

[edit]

The Ridge Meadows Flames were originally named the North Shore Winter Club Flames in 1972 and joined the North Island League (NIL) for the 1973–74 season, where they won their first ever championship. The following season, the Flames joined the West Coast Junior Hockey League (WCJHL). In the 1981-82 WCJHL season, the Flames lost in the WCJHL Finals, 3 games to 0 to the Seattle North West Americans. In the 1982-83 WCJHL season, the Flames won the 1982-83 WCJHL championship, and the 1982-83 Cyclone Taylor Cup. In 1993 the Flames relocated from North Shore, British Columbia to Maple Ridge, British Columbia. In the 1995–96 season, the Flames defeated the Richmond Sockeyes, who they finished second to in the regular season, to take the PIJHL Championship. Two years later, the Flames won the 1998 PIJHL Championship, then went on to win the Keystone Cup in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
