History

The Williams Lake Mustangs were founded in 1978 as members of the Peace-Cariboo Junior B League. In 1980, with the Peace-Cariboo League, the Mustangs were promoted to Junior A.

As members of the Peace-Cariboo League, the Mustangs won the PCJHL Trophy twice as playoff champions. They participated in the 1983 and 1989 Mowat Cup BC Jr. A Championships as representatives of the PCJHL. In 1983, the British Columbia Junior Hockey League's Abbotsford Flyers defeated the Mustangs 2-games-to-none. In 1989, the BCJHL's Vernon Lakers defeated the Mustangs 2-games-to-none.

In 1991, the PCJHL merged with franchises from the Kootenays Region and became the Rocky Mountain League. The Mustangs would win the RMJHL league title in 1993 and represent the league for the Mowat Cup. In 1993, the BCHL's Kelowna Spartans defeated the Mustangs 3-games-to-none.

In 1996, the Mustangs ceased operations. They would later be replaced by the Williams Lake TimberWolves in the early 2000s in the British Columbia Hockey League.
