Cloverdale awarded new junior hockey team

Cloverdale will gain a new junior hockey team named the Cloverdale Junior Hockey Club, starting play in fall 2025 at The Barn arena.
The team was created to bring Jr. "A" level hockey back to Cloverdale, restoring a tradition that had been absent since the late 1970s.
The franchise will compete in the B.C. Hockey-sanctioned Pacific Junior Hockey League's Tier 2 division and plans to move to a new sports complex in 2027-2028.
Ronnie Paterson, founder of the White Rock Whalers, owns the team and said, "It's great for the league, but it's even more important for the community."
The new team aims to develop local talent through strong community partnerships, including with Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association, and foster regional rivalries.
