On May 20, 2018, the Chiefs won their first RBC Cup, 4–2 over the Wellington Dukes while hosting the tournament. In March of 2025, it was announced that Chilliwack has been granted an expansion franchise in the Western Hockey League to play at the Chilliwack Coliseum starting in the 2026-27 season.

The Chilliwack Chiefs have formally indicated they will continue to play in the BCHL for the 2025-26 season and hope to continue past that.
