History
The British Columbia Breakers is an ice hockey team in the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL). It was formed in 2004 as a charter member of the league. In 2006, it was announced that the WWHL would be absorbed into the National Women's Hockey League. However, this was short lived as the NWHL and WWHL could not reach an agreement upon a playoff schedule. As a result, the merger was not consummated. With the collapse of the NWHL in the summer of 2007, the Western Women's Hockey League was once again a completely independent league.
Season-by-season
In their first season, the Breakers finished with a record of five wins, 15 losses, and one tie.

Why this record matters
“British Columbia Breakers” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, British, Columbia and Breakers provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4969679. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2006 and 2007.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
