The Carleton Place Canadians are a Junior A ice hockey team based in Carleton Place, Ontario. [1] The Canadians compete in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) as a member of the Robinson Division, which is the west division in the league. The team was established in 1969, along with the Kemptville Comets, when they were both part of the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League (EOJBHL). The Canadians have played their home games at the Carleton Place Arena since 1969, which coincides when their arena was built the same year. [2] The Canadians are owned by Brent Sullivan, who purchased the club in 2021 from Jason and Jody Clarke. [3]

The team has advanced to the Bogart Cup Final seven times in 15 seasons, winning the Bogart Cup four times in a row from 2014 to 2017. [4] [5] The Canadians, along with the Pembroke Lumber Kings, are the two CCHL franchises to have broken the most league records during a season, and own the all-time league record for finishing with the most points during a season with 110, in 2013–14 and 2017–18. [6]

History

The team was founded in 1969 as the Carleton Place Legion Kings in the Renfrew-Lanark Junior C Hockey League. Soon after, the league folded and the Legion Kings ended up in the Rideau-St. Lawrence Junior B Hockey League in 1971. This league later became the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. In 2009, it was announced that the team had been granted expansion to the Central Junior A Hockey League (now Central Canada Hockey League). Although the CCHL franchise has a different name, the Legion Kings are still considered the forerunner to the Canadians franchise. [7]

The Canadians played their first Junior A game on September 11, 2009. At home, the Canadians dropped a 4–1 decision to the Nepean Raiders. On September 13, 2009, the Canadians won their first ever CJHL game, defeating the Ottawa Jr. Senators 3–2 in the shootout on the road.

The 2013–14 season was a landmark season for the Canadians. They shattered both the CCHL's wins and points records en route to their first regular season title, falling one win short of shattering the 1972–73 Pembroke Lumber Kings league record for best winning percentage (47–4–4). They won CCHL playoffs by beating their rival Kemptville 73's 4–0 and then beating Pembroke in a hard-fought best-of-7 series. In the final, they won their first ever Bogart Cup against division rival Smiths Falls Bears in five games. They went on to win against the St-Jerôme Panthers 3–1 to win their first Fred Page Cup. The Canadians lost the Centennial Cup Final in a double-overtime loss to the Yorkton Terriers. In the 2014 playoffs, the Canadians played nine home games with seven full houses, and a total attendance of 7,011 for an average of 779, the highest in team history. [8] Standing room capacity crowds of 1,100 fans attended both Game 1 and 5 of the Bogart Cup Final round, which represents more than 400 people than the listed capacity. [9] [10]
