The Cranbrook Bucks are a Junior ice hockey team based in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. They are members of the Interior Conference of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). They play their home games at Western Financial Place.
On October 8, 2019, the BCHL awarded the city of Cranbrook and an ownership group led by former Kootenay Ice goaltender Nathan Lieuwen an expansion franchise to begin play during the 2020–21 BCHL season.
The franchise was a replacement tenant for Western Financial Place, after the Western Hockey League's Kootenay Ice franchise relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba prior to the start of the 2019-20 WHL season.[1]
