History
The 2011-12 Chase Heat entered their first season as a member of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), as an expansion team. Before the Heat, Chase also had a KIJHL team named the Chase Chiefs, before relocating to Kelowna, British Columbia prior to the 2010–11 KIJHL season to become the Kelowna Chiefs.
The 2016-17 season saw the Heat earn their first Doug Birks Division title. Not only did they win their division in the regular season, but also in the playoffs against the Kamloops Storm. The Heat also claimed the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference title after defeating the Osoyoos Coyotes in a best of 5 series, 3-2. The Heat lost to the eventual KIJHL Champion Beaver Valley Nitehawks in a best of 5 series, 0-3.
