History
The New Westminster Bruins of the Western Hockey League were resettled in 1988 after Kennewick and renamed Tri -City Americans. After she had ever reached the playoffs for the Ed Chynoweth Cup in the first eight years of its existence, the team missed this in the 1996/97 season for the first time. In the subsequent six years, they reached the playoffs only three times since 2003, the team from Washington, however, could increase continuously and reached the playoffs ever since. Her biggest success was the Americans by reaching the final of the Western Conference in the 2007/08 season, in which they almost defeated by the Spokane Chiefs in the best- of-seven series with 3:4 victories. In addition, they won twice in a row (2008 and 2009), the U.S. division. For the 2009/10 season, the previous assistant coach and former NHL player Terry Virtue was appointed head coach.
