Junior hockey came to the South Okanagan over a decade ago, in 1996/1997, in the form of the Osoyoos Rebels. The team was the vision of a Castlegar businessman, but after only one season was not able to continue. A local group of hockey enthusiasts kept the KIJHL brand of junior hockey alive by forming a non-profit society which operated the club, now under the name of the Osoyoos Heat, with Head Coach Claude Power at the helm. In just their first season of existence, the Heat became the Neil Murdoch Champions and went all the way to the league final before losing to the Eddie Mountain Champion Revelstoke Grizzlies. The team played three seasons, before private ownership once more took over the reins. The very next year, 2001/2002, local resident Barry Dewar became owner and renamed the club the Osoyoos Storm. The Storm enjoyed a great degree of success, under Head Coach Jimmy Liebel, capturing the Cyclone Taylor Cup (BC Championship) and Keystone Cup (Western Canadian Championship)
