History
The Rockies are the 1987-88, 1988–89, 1989-90 KIJHL Champions. The Rockies are also the 1989 Cyclone Taylor Cup Champions.
The team was founded by Eddie Mountain, of whom a KIJHL division was recently named. The team won three straight KIJHL championships in the late 1980s and in 1989 took home the Cyclone Taylor Cup under the direction of Tom Renney, who went on to coach the Vancouver Canucks and Team Canada.
