In other sports, the Saints are a member of the Pacific West Athletic Association (PWAA), also referred to as "Pac West", which is affiliated with the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA), the second tier of university/college sport in Canada. The CCAA has not held a national hockey playoff since 2001. However, the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) continues to operate, and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) operates a league of mostly Cégep teams.

History[]

The hockey team started in the Pacific Intercollegiate Hockey League (PIHL) by no later than 1971, where they competed against Cariboo College, Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the B.C. Institute of Technology, Gonzaga University, Notre Dame University, and Alaska Methodist of Anchorage. There are no Wikia records for the PIHL.

At some point in the 1970s they joined the Totem Conference or Totem Colleges Athletic Association (TCAA) {which changed names to British Columbia Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA) in 1987-88 and the Pacific West Athletic Association (PWAA) in 2011-12}, which is governed by the CCAA. The BCCAA discontinued its hockey competition after 1988-89 and the CCAA has not held a national championship since 2001.

The program was revived by the 2006-07 debut of the BCIHL. After many seasons of 1 or 2 wins per season, and always finishing last or second last, the team came alive in 2012-13, finishing first with a 21-3-0 record. They swept the Victoria Vikings and Simon Fraser Clan to take the title. In 2013-14 they went 20-3-1 and swept the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack and Trinity Western Spartans to repeat. So in two seasons they were 41-6-1 in regular season and 8-0-0 in playoffs. They then accomplished the three-peat in 2014-15 and a four-peat in 2015-16.
