The Western Hockey League's Kootenay Ice will remain in Cranbrook for the foreseeable future.
Owners of the club announced late Tuesday the team has been sold to interests out of Winnipeg.
Jeff Chynoweth, president of the Ice, said the family, which has owned the team since its inception as the Edmonton Ice in 1995, sold the team to Winnipeg entrepreneur Greg Fettes and hockey executive Matt Cockell.
The sale must still be approved by the league. A special meeting is scheduled for April 27 to review the new ownership application.
Cockell, who will be relocating his family to Cranbrook, plans to take over the role of president and general manager, and will be responsible for all business and hockey operations of the club.
“Our family is looking forward to becoming an active community member, and we are excited to engage directly with some of the greatest fans in the entire Western Hockey League,” said Cockell.
There had been speculation the Ice would be sold and relocated to Nanaimo. However, a referendum to build a new waterfront arena in the island city was soundly defeated earlier this month.
