– NEW MANAGEMENT, NEW LOGO and NEW UNIFORMS START THE NEW SEASON.
GRIZZLIES ARE OFFICIALLY SOLD. The community owned
Grizzlies became the property of Vernon businessmen, JOE
DAUENHAUER, RON KOLMAN and MIKE JODOIN.
THE NEW OWNER’S MISSION
STATEMENT: “Our Mission Statement says we want to be
operating as Canada’s
number one Junior B franchise by focusing on on-ice skills and personal
development through education, accountability and respect for the
organization. Our commitment to the citizens of Revelstoke is to do our very
best to make the Grizzlies not only a competitive team in the KIJHL that will
excite the fans, but also to become an integral part of Revelstoke through
participation in many activities throughout the community.”
THE LEAGUE entered its 40th year with some changes and new
rules.
- NO MORE TIE GAMES, THERE
WILL BE AN ACTUAL WINNER. The league will continue to use a 5 minute,
four-on-four overtime. If still tied then a 5 man shootout will follow. If
that doesn’t break the tie then a sudden-death shootout will take place
to determine a winner.
- REFEREES will be calling
everything, as in the BCHL, WHL and NHL.
- FIGHTING. The one-fight
rule replaced with the two-fight rule.
- A 52 GAME SEASON: 26 home
game and 26 away games.
- TWO FRANCHISES SOLD: The
Revelstoke Grizzlies and the Golden Xtreme.
- ONE RE-NAMED: The Golden (Xtreme) franchise was renamed the
JETS in homage to NHL Hall of Famer
Bobby Hull, who is part of the new ownership group.
- ONE MOVE: The Osoyoos franchise moved to Kamloops keeping their
‘STORM’ name and stay in the Okanagan Shuswap Division.
- INTER-DIVISIONAL PLAY
reverted back to the original format prior to the 2004-05 season. The Grizzlies will play
one home game against every team in the Neil Murdoch and Eddie Mountain
Division and in return will travel to those teams for an away game.

The Grizzlies had an opportunity to finish in
2nd place. The last game of the regular season had Summerland, with 58
points, playing in Revelstoke with 56 points. Had the Grizzlies won this game
they would have tied Summerland with 58 points and would have earned 2nd
place as the result of their season’s winning record over Summerland.
With the game tied 3-3 and the Grizzlies Goaltender out for the extra skater,
Summerland hit the empty net with 14 seconds remaining to clinch the game and
2nd place.
