History

The Calgary Jr. "A" Royals were born in 1972-73 as The Pass Red Devils, playing out of Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. The Red Devils franchise lasted four years before relocating to the nearby community of Pincher Creek to become the Pincher Creek Panthers and later the Pincher Creek Chinooks. The franchise lasted only two seasons in Pincher Creek before relocating to Calgary to become the Calgary Chinooks. In 1979-80, under a new ownership group, the Chinooks became the Calgary Spurs. The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass consists of six towns (from east to west): Bellview, Hillcrest, Frank, Blairmore, Coleman, and Crowsnest. ... Pincher Creek is a town in the southwest of Alberta, Canada. ...


Following the 1989-90 season, the Spurs ceased operations, leaving the AJHL with just seven franchises. Sensing the need for two Calgary based franchises (along with the Calgary Canucks), four local businessmen purchased the franchise, renaming them the Calgary Jr. "A" Royals with the mandate of providing Calgary and area kids with the opportunity to combine a high level of hockey with a quality education. The AJHL (Alberta Junior Hockey League) is an Alberta-based Tier II Junior A hockey league that belongs to the Canadian Junior A Hockey League ( CJAHL). ... The Calgary Canucks are an ice hockey team in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. ...


The Royals were immediately successful, finishing second in the regular season standings, behind the Fort Saskatchewan Traders and winning the league championship in their first season. Unfortunately, the Royals have been unable to duplicate that success, as the team has failed to make it past the second round of the playoffs since winning the title.


Presently, the franchise is plagued by very low attendance and tight finances. The Royals have persevered through the dedication of its many volunteers, including the coaching staff. The future of the Royals remains tenuous, however.
