Nanaimo, BC - The Nanaimo Clippers, a storied franchise in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) since 1972, are set to embark on a thrilling new chapter with a comprehensive rebranding initiative ahead of the upcoming 2024-25 hockey season.

Launching innovation into something as beloved as a city's team is a serious endeavour, and we believe it will come to embody the very best of our Clippers and Nanaimo. We can’t wait to share it with you, to proudly don the crest, and cheer beside you at the rink."
