==History==
Victoria originally had a team by the name of Victoria Cougars, who joined the BCJHL for the start of the 1967-68 season which made the league a total of 6 teams. After a realignment of junior hockey in 1971, into "Major Junior" and "Tier II", the Cougars joined the WHL.
In 1990, the BCHL welcomed the Victoria Warriors as part of a 10 team league. After the Warriors moved to Cowichan Valley in 1993, the Victoria Salsa joined the BCJHL in 1994 as an expansion team. 
At the start of the 2006-07 season, the team changed its name. They dropped the Salsa, and renamed themselves the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies hosted 2009 Royal Bank Cup. In the 2013-14 season, they won the Island Division championship after beating Powell River 4-2 in game 6. They are currently In the race for the BCHL league championship.
Game broadcasts are available via audio (free) and Pay-Per-View, with Scott Didmon and Rick Burke calling the games.
