In 2001, David Tuckman of Tuckon's Sports proposed a $150 million sports arena and performing arts center project to the city council of Bellevue, Washington, an affluent Seattle suburb, to be built on three acres of city-owned land downtown.

When it was determined that BCC would not be a suitable venue for professional basketball, Tuckman moved the team to Vancouver and changed the name to the Dragons.

[clarification needed] Tuckman negotiated a three-year lease with the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, British Columbia, to play 24 home games each year in the 4,500-seat Agrodome in 2006.

In November 2017, it was announced that the team would be one of the inaugural franchises in the Minor League Basketball Association (MLBA)[1] and play their home games at the David E. Endarson Gymnasium at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, just east of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, in the Fraser Valley part of the Metro Vancouver Regional District.

The Dragons join the Pro Basketball Association for the augural season of the league in 2021 in the North West Division.
