Grande Prairie Storm

The Grande Prairie Storm is a junior A ice hockey team in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) based in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, with home games at Bonnetts Energy Centre.

In 1995, with the Chiefs continuing to have financial difficulties, a community-led group bought the team with the goal of paying off its $150,000 in debts and restoring junior A hockey to prominence in the Peace Country.

They also hosted the 2004 Royal Bank Cup national junior A championship tournament that season, where they lost in the semifinals.

[3][4] The Storm broke the previous attendance record for the Royal Bank Cup by over 9000 fans in 2004.

The tournament consists of the regional Junior A champions and a previously selected host team.
