The Columbia Valley Rockies are proud to call Invermere, British Columbia, home. Nestled between the majestic Rocky and Purcell Mountain ranges, Invermere is located in the heart of the Columbia Valley, one of Canada’s most scenic destinations.
Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, endless outdoor recreation, and a welcoming community, the Columbia Valley offers our players much more than a place to play hockey. It offers an incredible place to live, grow, and make lasting memories.
Proudly Supporting Minor Hockey
The Columbia Valley Rockies share a strong connection with Windermere Valley Minor Hockey, whose young athletes proudly wear the Rockies name and colours.
We believe in supporting young athletes and inspiring the next generation of hockey players. Our Junior A players regularly volunteer their time to mentor and assist with minor hockey practices, building meaningful relationships with young players throughout the community.
One of our most cherished traditions is the Seventh Rockie Program, which gives a young minor hockey player the unforgettable opportunity to join the Rockies on the ice during the national anthem before a home game.
Our commitment to local hockey development extends to our Affiliate Player (AP) Program, which prioritizes opportunities for local athletes while welcoming additional talent from surrounding communities.
We are proud of our partnership with Windermere Valley Minor Hockey and grateful for the continued support of its players, families, coaches, and volunteers.
Experience the Columbia Valley
When winter arrives, the Columbia Valley transforms into an outdoor paradise.
With Panorama Mountain Resort, one of our valued sponsors, and Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Area just minutes away, exceptional skiing and snowboarding are right at our doorstep. Several other renowned mountain resorts, including Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, Mount Norquay, and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, are also within a 90-minute drive.
Beyond the slopes, residents and visitors can enjoy countless winter activities, from snowshoeing and cross-country skiing to skating along the famous Lake Windermere Whiteway, the world’s longest maintained skating trail.
The Columbia Valley is just as spectacular when the snow melts. With championship golf courses, pristine lakes, scenic hiking trails, and world-class mountain biking, there is no shortage of ways to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
Whether you’re spending the afternoon on Lake Windermere, discovering a new mountain trail, or enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Invermere, there’s something for everyone.
