Overview[]

"Kings" is the name of the sports teams of Red Deer Polytechnic located in Red Deer, Alberta. It was known as "Red Deer College" until September 2, 2021. Source: Announcement

The team competes in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC). They folded their hockey program after the 2003-04 season before returning for the 2013-14 season. The ACAC is affiliated with the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA), the second tier of university/college sport in Canada. The CCAA has not held a national hockey playoff since 2001. The Kings have won 8 ACAC titles and 3 CCAA titles. The ACAC is currently the only college league in Canada. However, the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) includes college teams and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) operates a league of mostly Cégep teams.
