Richmond defeated the Abbotsford Pilots in the 1990–1991 PIJHL playoffs and then went on to beat the Nelson Leafs in the Cyclone Taylor Cup in two games. The team won the Bronze in the
Keystone Cup in 2003 after missing out on the title game based on goal-ratio. The next year, 2004, they again won the PIJHL league championship, the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship and this time placed 2nd in the Keystone Cup. In 2009 the Sockeyes won the PIJHL league championship, they hosted and won the
Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship, and the
Keystone Cup. In the 2010–11 PIJHL season, the Sockeyes won the PIJHL championship over the
Abbotsford Pilots 4-games-to-none. In the 2011–12 PIJHL season, the Sockeyes won the Regular season championship for the second year in a row. Due to numerous injuries in the playoffs and less than stellar play, the Sockeyes eventually lost the Tom Shaw Conference Finals to their rival the
Delta Ice Hawks 4-games-to-2. The 2012–2013 season was also Richmond's 40th year of operation. With the name changed from the PIJHL in 2012/2013 to the Pacific Junior Hockey League(PJHL), the Richmond Sockeyes hoped for a better season than last year losing in the Tom Shaw Conference finals to the Delta Ice Hawks 4–2. The Sockeyes would have another outstanding regular season finishing first for the third straight year and fourth time in five years with a record of 32–8–4. The playoffs started with a 4–0 sweep of the North Delta Devils, followed by a seven-game series versus the Delta Ice Hawks. Richmond would end up dominating the Aldergrove Kodiaks in four games to claim their 9th PJHL title. Richmond would then go on to the Cyclone Taylor Cup being hosted by the
Comox Valley Glacier Kings and go 3–0 in the round-robin and face the
Victoria Cougars from the VIJHL in the championship game. Richmond would end up winning 4–1 and book their ticket to the 2013
Keystone Cup in St. Malo, Manitoba. After four tough games in four days in Comox, the team had only a couple of days of rest before flying to Winnipeg and boarding a team bus to
St. Malo, Manitoba to represent British Columbia at the 2013 Keystone Cup – the Western Canadian Junior B Championships. Facing a daunting travel and game schedule that included six games in four days, the Sockeyes had numerous victories. They went 5–0 in the round-robin and outscored the provincial championship teams from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario by a total of 39–10. They faced the Saskatoon Royals for a second time in the final on Sunday, April 21. After a fast-paced first period, that ended 0–0, the Sockeyes depth and focused, persistent play once again led to some quick goals and a 3–0 lead after two. The big Saskatoon team battled hard in the final frame, but the Sockeyes held on for a 5–2 win and their second Keystone Cup championship in franchise history. The Sockeyes depth was again a big factor in their success in the gruelling schedule as valuable contributions from Jordan Andrews, Derek Hughes, Bret Higham, William Latimer and affiliate player Austin Adamson proved crucial. The Red Line torched the tournament and MVP Rudi Thorsteinson scored an incredible 11 goals in 6 games (after scoring 7 in the regular season). Thorsteinson led the tournament in scoring with 16 points while he, Jake Roder and Jeremy Hamaguchi combined for an amazing 39 points. Super rookies
Danton Heinen and Daniel Lange also notched five goals apiece while veteran Stephen Campbell scored four. Dean Allison, the team's regular season and playoff leading scorer and team MVP in 2012–2013, and team captain Sam Chichak played exemplary two-way hockey, typically shutting down the other teams top forwards. It is worth noting that Allison is the grandson of the Richmond Sockeyes original owner, the late Bruce Allison. All of the teams at the Keystone Cup had some very talented players, but the Sockeyes two deadly power play units, stellar penalty killing and their ability to play all four lines and both goaltenders separated them from the other provincial champions. In total, 19 different Sockeyes notched at least a point in the tournament, and every player contributed with key shot blocks, face-off wins and strong, team-first play. In the tournament, Richmond was able to outscore its opponents 44–12 and outshoot them 264–125. The Sockeyes have also been tied or leading a game for 871 minutes and 25 seconds in 900 minutes of hockey, which means they only trailed for 28 minutes and 35 seconds in 15 hockey games. The only times that the Sockeyes were down since game 6 of the Tom Shaw Final was in the first game of the Cyclone Taylor Cup to Victoria for 2:06, the gold medal game against Victoria for 24:10, and briefly to the Saskatoon Royals for 2:06 and Thunder Bay Northern Hawks for 0:13 in the Keystone Cup. In 2025, the league announced plans to promote the
Chilliwack Jets,
Coastal Tsunami,
Delta Ice Hawks,
Grandview Steelers,
Langley Trappers,
Richmond Sockeyes and
Ridge Meadows Flames to a new Tier 1 division beginning in the 2025–26 season. Under the plan, the
Abbotsford Pilots,
Aldergrove Ironmen,
Mission City Outlaws,
North Vancouver Wolf Pack,
Port Coquitlam Trailblazers,
Port Moody Panthers,
Surrey Knights and
White Rock Whalers would remain as Tier 2, as well as a
planned expansion team to be based in
Cloverdale. However, when the plan was put to the franchise owners for a vote, it failed to pass by the required two-thirds majority, with 8 members voting for and 7 voting against. The vote was divided between the franchises that had been selected for promotion, who voted in favour of the motion, and those not selected for promotion, who voted against it. Due to the expanded playoff format, Richmond was drawn to play the lowly 8th place Burnaby in the first round, whom they handled with ease, recording 3 shutouts and only 1 goal against. In the 2nd round their opponent were the Langley Trappers, who had finished 6th, 47 points behind Richmond. After the Sockeyes leapt out to a 2-0 series lead, including a 5-1 first game, the underdog Trappers won both their games at home to even up the series at 2 all. Back in Minoru for game 5, Richmond looked to get back on track, shutting out the visitors 3-0. This defeat did not phase Langley, who hit back with a 4-2 win in game 6 to send it to game 7 in Richmond. Game 7 was close, with Langley holding a 2-1 lead by the end of the 2nd period. Richmond would score again to close the lead to one, but it wasn't enough. In one of the greatest upsets in BC junior hockey history, the Langley Trappers had beaten the Sockeyes 4 games to 3. ==Season-by-season record==
