The Aldergrove Ironmen is a junior ice hockey franchise in the Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) based in Aldergrove, British Columbia. The team plays its home games at the 600-seat Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre arena.

History

The team originally was known as the Aldergrove Kodiaks when it debuted as an expansion franchise in 2008. In its PJHL history, the team has won the PJHL championship three times, in 2010, 2014 and 2017. In 2012–13, the Kodiaks won the Brittain Conference title and qualified for the PJHL finals, where they lost to the Richmond Sockeyes.

The 2024–25 PJHL season saw the Kodiaks lose all 48 of their regular season games becoming the first team in PJHL history to record a season without a single point in the standings.

In 2025, following a change in ownership, the franchise overhauled its coaching staff and rebranded as the Aldergrove Ironmen.

In 2025, the league announced plans to promote the Chilliwack Jets, Coastal Tsunami, Delta Ice Hawks, Grandview Steelers, Langley Trappers, Richmond Sockeyes and Ridge Meadows Flames to a new Tier 1 division beginning in the 2025–26 season. Under the plan, the Abbotsford Pilots, Aldergrove Ironmen, Mission City Outlaws, North Vancouver Wolf Pack, Port Coquitlam Trailblazers, Port Moody Panthers, Surrey Knights and White Rock Whalers would remain as Tier 2, as well as a planned expansion team to be based in Cloverdale. However, when the plan was put to the franchise owners for a vote, it failed to pass by the required two-thirds majority, with 8 members voting for and 7 voting against. The vote was divided between the franchises that had been selected for promotion, who voted in favour of the motion, and those not selected for promotion, who voted against it.

Despite only winning 1 game in 2025-26, the PJHL's new playoff format means that the Ironmen will face 1st place White Rock in the first round.
