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.

Two years later, the Flames won the 1998 PIJHL Championship, then went on to win the Keystone Cup in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
