History
Easily the most powerful team in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League in recent years, the Golden Knights have won five league championships in eight seasons. Their greatest challenge to date may have been the Westport Rideaus in the 2005-06 playoffs. The Rideaus had the Golden Knights pinned down and against the wall 3--to-2 in the final, but the Golden Knights battled back and took the last two nail-biters to win their fourth title.
The Golden Knights recently had a banner year for the 2008-2009 season by winning the D. Arnold Carson trophy for the 6th time in the team's history and its 5th league championship in 8 years. The Knights also captured the 2008 Boxing Day Tournament title.
2012-2013 Looks to be a rebuild year for the Knights after losing 3 Top Defensemen in Neil Clarke, Mitch Fournier and Sebastien Dubus,Goaltender Jacob Blair who is now playing for the Ottawa 67's and a Top Forward in Ben Minkus. The Knights look strong out of the gates going 7-4-0 in 11 Games.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
