Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, the Totems joined the Western States Hockey League (WSHL), an AAU sanctioned league. The 2019–20 postseason was cancelled amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020–21 WSHL was subsequently cancelled. The Totems were scheduled to return to play in the 2021–22 season with the rest of the WSHL, but the Northwest Division then placed in dormancy prior to playing any games. After the rest of the WSHL ceased operations during the 2021–22 season, the Totems franchise joined the Premier Division of the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL), another independent junior league.
