The Westshore Wolves are a Junior B Ice Hockey team based in Colwood, British Columbia, Canada. They are a member of the South Division of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.

History[edit]
The Wolves were one of two expansion teams in 2012-13 for the VIJHL, the other being the Nanaimo Buccaneers. In three seasons, the Wolves have done relatively well, finishing top three in their division every year. As with many expansion franchises, they have slowly gained momentum and become a strong team within a few years..[1]
