The Cranbrook Colts were a Junior "B" and a Junior "A" team in Cranbrook, British Columbia. They were formed in 1972 as a Junior "B" team in the Kootenay International Junior League. They were immediately succesful, winning the league title in their first four years. The Colts jumped to the Junior "A" Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League in 1991, winning three league titles in their seven years in the league.
The Colts folded in 1998 because of the forming of the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, a major junior team in the Western Hockey League.
