Catch up with the Kootenay ICE

The Kootenay ICE made a number of significant announcements at a media conference on Monday, August 20.

The Kootenay ICE theme for the 2018-19 Western Hockey League season is ‘Our ICE.’

What does that mean? It is all about community and encouraging a source of pride in the team. This is Our ICE!

The ICE have a number of initiatives centered around creating energy and excitement in the community and are encouraging all fans and businesses to show their support by using the Our ICE social images, purchasing Our ICE custom t-shirts to be worn on game days and attending ICE home games.

In addition, the 2018 portion of the 2018-19 regular season schedule is the celebration of 20 years in Cranbrook for the ICE.

During the off-season, the ICE unveiled a 20th year in Cranbrook logo, which includes four stars.

The three small stars represent the three WHL championships captured by the ICE (2000, 2002, 2011), while the large star represents the Memorial Cup championship victory (2002).

Limited merchandise featuring the 20th year commemorative logo is available at the ICE Gear Store, where season seat holders receive 15% off.
