On April 8, 2010 the Tri-Town Thunder won their first Jr. B Provincial championship when they defeated the Pilot Butte Storm in Game 7 in Carrot River 4-1. With the win the Thunder advanced to the Keystone Cup in Kamloops, British Columbia At the Keystone Cup, the Thunder finished the round robin with a 3-1-1 record to earn a spot in the Gold medal game. Tri-Town lost to the Revelstoke Grizzlies 5-3 and were Silver medalist.
