Grande Prairie Kings

The Grande Prairie Kings are a Junior "B" Ice Hockey team based in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada. They are members of the North West Junior Hockey League (NWJHL). They played their home games at Coca-Cola Centre, which has a capacity of 1,600 until January of 2014. The team then moved to the Crosslink County Sportsplex which has a capacity of 600.

They changed their name in April, 2011, from the Grande Prairie Wheelers because of a change in sponsorship.



History
The Kings (formerly the Wheelers) joined the NWJHL when the league began operations in 1994. It took the Kings nearly 20 years to capture their first league championship but did so on March 26, 2013.

In the 2013-2014 NWJHL season the Kings hosted the Hockey Alberta Investors Group Junior B Provincial Championship. Despite losing the NWJHL finals to the North Peace Navigators, Grande Prairie had already secured a spot as tournament host. The Kings captured a silver medal falling 6 to 0 to the Blackfalds Wranglers in the provincial final.
