The 2017–18 KIJHL season was the 51st in league history. The regular season began on September 8, 2017, and continued until February 18, 2018. The playoffs began the following week, and ended when the Kimberley Dynamiters defeated the Revelstoke Grizzlies in six games to win the second championship in franchise history, and the first under the Dynamiters moniker. Due to a fatal amonia leak at the Fernie Memorial Arena, home of the Ghostriders, on October 17, all remaining Ghostriders home games were played at the Elk Valley Leisure Centre in Sparwood, an arena that previously housed the Elk Valley Raiders.
