The city of Langley got its first taste of junior hockey in 1973, when the Langley Lords became a member of the BCJHL. The Lords competed for 3 seasons in the league which saw them experience regular season success without anything materializing into playoff success.

In 1976, the Lords changed their team name to the Langley Thunder. The team were a bottom feeder for all 3 seasons and ceased operations in 1978.

For the start of the 1981-82 seasons Junior A hockey returned to Langley, as the Langley Eagles returned to the BCJHL. The Eagles competed for 6 seasons in Langley with 1983-84 being the most successful. That season saw the team finish 40-8-2, placing third in the league. In the playoffs the team flew past the Abbotsford Flyers and Nanaimo Clippers to face the Pentiction Knight - placed first in the league - in the finals. That series saw the Eagles sweep the Knights to become the League Champions. The team went on to beat the Prince George Spruce Kings - the Peace Caribou Junior Hockey League champions - two games to none to win the Mowat Cup. In the BC/Alta Championship, Fort Saskatchewan Traders were out bartered, 4 games to 2. The team failed to capture the Abbott Cup as they were ousted 4 games to 0 by the eventual champions, Weyburn Red Wings. The Langley Eagles ceased operations in 1987.

Eight years later, the Langley Thunder reappeared in 1994. The Langley Thunder would compete for 5 seasons with the highlight being a league finals appearance in 1996, which the team lost to the eventual Royal Bank Champions, the Vernon Vipers, 4 games to 1.

The Thunder went on to change their team name to the Hornets. The team experienced some success under the guidance of Rick Lanz however his termination occurred during the 2002-03 season. A league worst team in 2001-02, the team finished 4th the following year, with a first round exit in the playoffs. The Langley Hornets existed until 2006, when the team was relocated to West Kewlona where the team is known as the Westside Warriors.

The Chilliwack has had a prominent team in the BCHL since 1970. The Chilliwack Chiefs have been a top organization in the BCHL ever since its first season as the Chiefs in 1990. However, upon the introduction of the Chilliwack Bruins as a brand new member of the WHL in 2006, the Chilliwack Chiefs Junior A team was relocated to Langley. 2006-07 was the inagural season for the Langley Chiefs, which played at the George Preston Arena. The Langley Chiefs transferred to the brand new state of the art Langley Events Centre for the 2009-10 season.
