The West Sound Warriors are a Amateur Athletic Union-sanctioned Tier III Junior A ice hockey team playing in the Western States Hockey League. The team plays its home games at Bremerton Ice Center in Bremerton, Washington USA.[1]

The franchise joined the NorPac in 2000 as the Puget Sound Kings, playing home games at the Puget Sound Hockey Center in Tacoma, Washington. In 2003, they moved to the new arena in nearby Bremerton and were renamed the Tomahawks. The team changed its name to the West Sound Warriors prior to the 2011-2012 season.

The NorPac was classified as "Junior B" until 2007, when the league and member teams were granted Tier III Jr A status by USA Hockey, the governing body for ice hockey in the United States.

The team would join the United States Premier 3 Hockey League when the Nor-Pac went down to four members for the 2016-17 season.

The team would announce that they were suspending operations for the 2017-18 season with the USPHL. The Vancouver Rangers of the Western States Hockey League would move their operations to Bremerton and would assume the identity of the Warriors under the ownership of the original Vancouver team.

The organization would fold during the 2018 off-season.[2] The team would be replaced by the West Sound Admirals.[3]

Alumni[]

The Warriors have had a number of alumni move on to collegiate programs and higher levels of junior ice hockey in the United States and Canada.
