The Ironmen Hockey Club was founded in 1997 and was originally based in Burnaby, British Columbia. The team played their league games at the Canlan Ice Sports - Burnaby 8 Rinks facility. During the first three seasons of operation the Ironmen competed under the name the Renegades. The highlight during the 'Renegade' years came in the summer of 1998 with a division championship.

In the spring of 2000 the hockey club re-structured its management team. The prime objective of the new management team was to improve the club both on and off the ice. Their primary goal was to attract serious and dedicated team players with the goal of becoming more competitive as a group. It was decided the hockey club required a new identity. The Ironmen Hockey Club name was born to reflect the character of the organization and it's membership. It represents the blue collar always show up character depicted by a true Ironman.
