Season Summary
The 2002-03 KIJHL season started with the change of a franchise. Enderby, after 10 years in the 'K', moved to Princeton and became the Posse.
The 2001-02 Grizzlies, with only two returning veterans, had lots of changes and many new faces. Len Dergousoff became the new General Manager. Randy Quakenbush started as the Grizzlies Coach until October 31, then Steve Miller took over behind the bench on November 8th. Cliff Cressy joined as Assistant Coach alongside Jesse Anchikoski. The Grizzlies no longer had a BCHL affiliation.
