the junior Chilliwack Chiefs ice hockey team from 2011 to present

The Chilliwack Chiefs are a junior hockey team based in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. They are members of the Coastal Conference of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). They play their home games at the Chilliwack Coliseum which was vacated after the Chilliwack Bruins of the Western Hockey League (WHL) were sold and moved to Victoria, where they became known as the Victoria Royals.

History

The franchise, originally the Quesnel Millionaires, started out in the Peace Cariboo Junior Hockey League (PCJHL) in 1975. The Millionaires are the 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1987 PCJHL Champions. They also won the 1977, 1978, and 1979 Cyclone Taylor Cup Championships. In 1996, the Millionaires moved to the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

On May 9, 2011, the BCHL approved the sale of the Millionaires to the Chiefs Development Group in Chilliwack. The former Chiefs franchise was renamed the Langley Rivermen in preparation for the Millionaires' move to Chilliwack to become the Chiefs.

On May 20, 2018, the Chiefs won their first RBC Cup, 4–2 over the Wellington Dukes while hosting the tournament.

In March 2025, it was announced that Chilliwack has been granted an expansion franchise in the Western Hockey League to play at the Chilliwack Coliseum starting in the 2026-27 season. This comes after Chilliwack previously hosted the Chilliwack Bruins, a WHL franchise from 2006 to 2011 before they were sold to Victoria. The Chilliwack Chiefs have formally indicated they will continue to play in the BCHL for the 2025-26 season and hope to continue past that.
