History[]

International Basketball League (2005–2014)[]

The team's 2005 inaugural season was a huge disappointment. The team started 0–7, and went on to go 4–18. The Volcanoes were led in scoring by Charles McKinney (20.7 ppg). Again, despite high hopes, the Volcanoes were mediocre, posting a 4–21 record. Brad Lechtenberg led the team in scoring at 25.0 ppg. He and Kevin "Pip" Bloodsaw (19.6 ppg) were IBL All-Stars in 2006.

During the 2011 season the Vancouver Volcanoes began to show signs of success both on and off the court for team owner Bryan Hunter.^[2] The team won its first league title. ^[3] The franchise ceased operations after the IBL folded in 2014.

Rebirth (2021–present)[]

On November 2, 2020, The Basketball League (TBL) announced the Portland Storm was approved as expansion franchise for the 2021 season owned by Curtis Hill.^[4] The team decided to sit out for the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the 2022 season, former team owner of the Vancouver Volcanoes, Bryan Hunter sold the team's image and rights to Curtis Hill, who relocated his Portland Storm to Vancouver Washington. ^{[5] [6]}
