The Seattle Jr. Totems are a junior ice hockey team in Seattle, Washington. They are a member of the United States Premier Hockey League and play their home games at Olympic View Arena in Mountlake Terrace, Washington.

History

The franchise was founded in 2005 as the Kent Crusaders in the Northern Pacific Hockey League (NorPac). After one season the team was sold to another local youth hockey organization and was renamed after the former local professional team, the Seattle Totems.

Seattle finished the 2007–08 regular season first place overall in the NorPac and are three time Pacific Division Champions- 2007–08, 2008–09, and 2009–10.

Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, the Totems joined the Western States Hockey League (WSHL), an AAU sanctioned league. The 2019–20 postseason was cancelled amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020–21 WSHL was subsequently cancelled. The Totems were scheduled to return to play in the 2021–22 season with the rest of the WSHL, but the Northwest Division then placed in dormancy prior to playing any games. After the rest of the WSHL ceased operations during the 2021–22 season, the Totems franchise joined the Premier Division of the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL), another independent junior league.

Season-by-season records

1. Beginning with the 2018–19 season, the WSHL began awarding 3pts for a win, 2pts for an overtime win, and 1pt for an overtime loss.
2. Seattle was removed from the playoffs prior to the end of the regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the entire WSHL playoffs were eventually cancelled.

Alumni

The Jr. Totems have had a number of alumni move on to NCAA Division I, NCAA Division III, and higher levels of junior ice hockey and the NHL.
