Blizzard Island was created many years ago by Terry Angus and his school chum/friend Stoney Ripley way back when they were grade 12 students in Nova Scotia in 1979. In 1981 Terry was hired on with Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock. In 1983 during Terry's summer hiatus from Fraggle Rock he and Stoney made a home video of their story Blizzard Island and took the idea and a home video to a producer. Andrew Cochan, Terry and Stoney, along with writer B.P. Nichol made a 6 minute video that Cochran took to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Two pilots were produced which lead to a series of 12 episode
