History

New Westminster Royals

New Westminster was home to several professional ice hockey teams, all named the New Westminster Royals, in the 1910s, 1940s, and 1950s. In 1962, a New Westminster Royals junior ice hockey team joined the Pacific Coast Junior Hockey League (PCJHL). After the Royals won five straight league championships, the PCJHL merged with the British Columbia Junior Hockey League (BCJHL) in 1967. They were Abbott Cup finalists in 1967 during the 1967 Memorial Cup playdowns. In 1971, the now Junior A Royals franchise went dormant when the major junior Western Canada Hockey League's Estevan franchise relocated and became the New Westminster Bruins. In 1981 the Bruins left New Westminster, and the Royals were reactivated for two seasons. In 1983, a different major junior Bruins' team relocated from Nanaimo to New Westminster, and the Royals again went dormant. In 1988, the Bruins left, and the Royals were reactivated. The Royals won the 1989–90 Fred Page Cup as BCHL playoff champions.

Future NHL star Cliff Ronning was a notable early 1980s Royals' squad member. Future convicted fraudster Frank Biller played for the Royals from 1988 to 1990.

Surrey

In 1991, the New Westminster Royals relocated to Surrey, British Columbia. The Eagles did not make it past the quarterfinals in the playoffs for the first four seasons in South Surrey. In 1997, their fifth season, the Eagles finished with a record of 47–7–6 for 100 points and won the BCHL championship by defeating the Vernon Vipers in the Subway Cup. The Eagles beat the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League champions Cranbrook Colts and the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League to earn a berth in the Royal Bank Cup. In the tournament, held in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, the Eagles went 3–1 in the round-robin and beat the Kanata Valley Lasers 4–2 in the semifinal before losing to the host Summerside Western Capitals 4–3 in the championship game.

In the following 1997–98 season, the South Surrey Eagles won the Royal Bank Cup with the tournament held in Nanaimo, British Columbia, defeating the Weyburn Red Wings 4–1 in the final.

The Eagles' following seasons also were successful, losing the league title to eventual Royal Bank Cup winner Vernon Vipers in 1999, then twice losing in the league semifinal, and winning the league title in 2005 over the Vernon Vipers four games to one. In the 2005 Doyle Cup series, they lost to Camrose Kodiaks four games to one.

In 2012–13, the Eagles won the British Columbia Hockey League championship by defeating the Penticton Vees in six games. They then won the inaugural Western Canada Cup with a 4–2 win over the Brooks Bandits in the championship game. At the Royal Bank Cup, the Surrey Eagles went 3–1 in the round-robin to finish in second place but lost to the host Summerside Western Capitals in overtime in the semifinal game.fred page cup On May 26 2024 the Surrey Eagles vs Penticton Vees 3 - 1 win after 2013 the eagles have now won the Fred page cup beating the Penticton Vees
