Surrey Knights

The team was founded in 1999 in New Westminster as the Queen's Park Pirates, where they played their home games at the historic Queen's Park Arena until they relocating to the Sungod Arena in North Delta for the 2002–03 season, moving to North Delta, dropping the Pirates name and changing it to Flyers, to become the North Delta Flyers. The Flyers played three seasons before changing their name to Devils in 2005. The North Delta Devils relocated to the George Preston Recreation Centre in 2014, moved to Langley, dropped the Devils name and changed it to Knights, becoming the Langley Knights. On June 2, 2016, The PJHL announced the relocation of the Langley Knights to the city of Surrey in time for the 2016–17 season. This relocation happened because the Vancouver Giants relocated from the Pacific Coliseum to the Langley Events Centre, forcing the BCHL's Langley Rivermen out of their old home. They had to go to the George Preston Centre, which also forced the Knights out of Langley and into Surrey, to become the Surrey Knights.

The first few years in Surrey were disastrous, compiling a 4-163-9 record in the first four years, including a winless first season. In the first season post Covid-19, the Knights would equal their total wins since moving, but that still meant losing 39 games and finishing second last. The team has been on a slow trajectory upwards since 2022, and broke out in the 2025-26 season, winning 30 games and finishing 4th^[3]

In 2016–17, the Knights' first season in their new location, the Knights did not win a single game all season in the PJHL. The Knights' last win in the PJHL was Thursday, November 19, 2015, 3–2 win vs Abbotsford Pilots. a span of 89 games.

After a two-year winless streak, the Junior B Surrey Knights bagged a 2–0 win Friday, November 24, 2017, against the Abbotsford Pilots. Goalie Zakary Babin stood on his head, stopping 49 Abbotsford shots to get the shutout. The Knights mustered just 12 shots the other way. It would be the only win for Surrey Knights for 2017–18.

For the 2018–2019 season, The Surrey Knights would win its first 2 games. The first win came of the year on Thursday vs. expansion White Rock Whalers with a 6–5 victory on December 6, 2018. Naveen Kainth faced 59 shots, earning first star of the game. The 2nd win of the year, came on Thursday, January 24, 2019, with a 6–2 victory over the Mission City Outlaws. Naveen Kainth would face 50/52 shots and earn 1st, star of the game. It would mark the last win of the season for the Knights.

The 2019–2020, Surrey Knights moved to a new home at the North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex. They would go on to have another unsuccessful Season, winning only one game, on December 19th with a 4-1 victory vs the Grandview Steelers.

In 2025, the league announced plans to promote the Chilliwack Jets, Coastal Tsunami, Delta Ice Hawks, Grandview Steelers, Langley Trappers, Richmond Sockeyes and Ridge Meadows Flames to a new Tier 1 division beginning in the 2025–26 season.^[4][5] Under the plan, the Abbotsford Pilots, Aldergrove Ironmen, Mission City Outlaws, North Vancouver Wolf Pack, Port Coquitlam Trailblazers, Port Moody Panthers, Surrey Knights and White Rock Whalers would remain as Tier 2, as well as a planned expansion team to be based in Cloverdale.^[6] However, when the plan was put to the franchise owners for a vote, it failed to pass by the required two-thirds majority, with 8 members voting for and 7 voting against.^[7] The vote was divided between the franchises that had been selected for promotion, who voted in favour of the motion, and those not selected for promotion, who voted against it.^[7]

The Knights won 30 of 44 regular season games in 2025-26, the franchise's most successful year since they won 36 games in 2010, and the best since they moved to Surrey. They finished 2nd in the Harold Brittain conference, only behind the White Rock Whalers.^[8] They beat North Vancouver 4 games to 1 in the first round of the expanded playoffs, but were eliminated by Mission after 2 overtimes in game 7 of the second round.
