The Everett Silvertips are an American major junior ice hockey team in the U.S. Division of the Western Conference of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The team is based in Everett, Washington, and joined the WHL as an expansion team for the 2003–04 season. The team name comes from the silvertip bear. The team plays at Angel of the Winds Arena, a $71.5 million multipurpose complex built in 2003 that seats 8,300 (or 8,513 with standing room only seats included) for hockey. The team's mascot is Lincoln, a silvertip bear, named after the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln stationed at the time at Naval Station Everett.[2] The Silvertips have developed rivalries with the Seattle Thunderbirds and Portland Winterhawks.

History

Logo used for their 15th anniversary season in 2017–18.

The city of Everett, Washington, was awarded conditional approval for an expansion franchise from the Western Hockey League on September 18, 2001.[3] The team, to begin play in the 2003–04 season at a new arena in downtown Everett, would be named the "Silvertips" after the grizzly bears of the Pacific Northwest.[4]
