From a bustling economy to a thriving youth hockey scene, the California Grizzlies look to create a lasting impression in the greater Orange County region for many seasons to come.

Donning the colors of brown and orange, the California Grizzlies chose the grizzly bear to represent and embody the spirit of the team since California's state animal is a grizzly bear.  Looking to play all home games at a former NHL practice facility--The Rinks, the Grizzlies color scheme was carefully assembled so that the brown would resemble that of a grizzly's brown fur while the orange acts as an accent color that pays homage to the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks.  The California Grizzlies strive to promote the growth of the sport of hockey and perpetuate all arising opportunities from the organization to the community of Irvine. 

The  Grizzlies schedule will comprise of competitive series contests against other elite semi-professional teams from California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Texas and Idaho showcasing the best single A talent of the western region of the United States.
