     The Trail Smoke Eaters Hockey Club is rich in history and tradition and is known around the world for it's two world championships in 1939 and 1961. The Trail Smoke Eaters still hold the distinction of being the last Canadian amateur hockey team to win a World Championship. Over the years the Smoke Eaters have had franchises in the KIJHL (Jr. B) and the RMJHL (Jr.A). The Smoke Eaters have always been a "Community Owned" franchise and the ongoing success and progression of the hockey club can be attributed to this fact. The Smoke Eaters have had a franchise in the BCHL since 1995.
