==History== right|195x195px|thumbnail|The original Carleton Place Legion Kings logo 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.<ref name="official_history">{{cite web |url=http://www.cpcanadians.com/history.aro |title=Carleton Place Junior a Canadians Hockey club - Team History |access-date=11 April 2026 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090509174910/http://www.cpcanadians.com/history.aro |archive-date=2009-05-09 }}</ref> The club was sold to Jason and Jody Clarke in 2006.<ref name="at_23feb2021">{{cite news |title=Carleton Place Canadians sold with new owner taking over May 1st |url=https://arnpriortoday.ca/2021/02/23/carleton/# |access-date=11 April 2026 |work=Oldies 107.7 |date=23 February 2021 |language=en}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |+Statistics |- align="center" style="color:#EAB716" bgcolor="#2E3190" | '''Season''' || width="2.2em" | '''GP''' || width="2.2em" | '''W''' || width="2.2em" | '''L''' || width="2.2em" | '''T''' || width="2.2em" | '''OTL''' || width="2.2em" | '''GF''' || width="2.2em" | '''GA''' || width="2.2em" | '''Pts''' || '''Results''' || '''Playoffs''' |- align="right" | align="left" | 1981–82 || 40 || 18 || 15 || 7 || 0 || 227 || 209 || 43 || align="left" | 2nd in EO NEast || align="left" | |- align="right" | align="left" | 1982–83 || 32 || 13 || 25 || 4 || 0 || 207 || 271 || 30 || align="left" | 6th in EO Valley || align="left" | |- align="right" | align="left" | 1983–84 || colspan="10" align="center" | Statistics not available |- align="right" | align="left" | 1984–85 || 36 || 14 || 20 || 2 || 0 || 160 || 232 || 30 || align="left" | 4th in EO Valley || align="left" | |- align="right" | align="left" | 1985–86 || 36 || 14 || 19 || 3 || 0 || 198 || 220 || 31 || align="left" | 4th in EO NWest || align="left" | |- align="right" | align="left" | 1986–87 || 39 || 12 || 26 || 1 || 0 || 181 || 257 || 25 || align="left" | 6th in EO Valley || align="left" | |- align="right" | align="left" | 1987–1999 || colspan="10" align="center" | Statistics not available |- align="right" | align="left" | 1999–00 || 40 || 21 || 16 || 3 || 3 || 174 || 167 || 50 || align="left" | 2nd in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost division semifinal |- align="right" | align="left" | 2000–01 || 45 || 26 || 20 || 2 || 1 || 171 || 153 || 55 || align="left" | 3rd in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost semifinal |- align="right" | align="left" | 2001–02 || 40 || 13 || 25 || 2 || 2 || 139 || 167 || 30 || align="left" | 6th in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost preliminary |- align="right" | align="left" | 2002–03 || 40 || 19 || 18 || 3 || 2 || 176 || 168 || 43 || align="left" | 3rd in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost preliminary |- align="right" | align="left" | 2003–04 || 40 || 18 || 19 || 3 || 2 || 153 || 162 || 41 || align="left" | 3rd in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost preliminary |- align="right" | align="left" | 2004–05 || 40 || 14 || 20 || 5 || 1 || 144 || 185 || 34 || align="left" | 4th in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost division final |- align="right" | align="left" | 2005–06 || 40 || 19 || 17 || 2 || 2 || 166 || 151 || 42 || align="left" | 3rd in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost division semifinal |- align="right" | align="left" | 2006–07 || 40 || 13 || 20 || 5 || 2 || 159 || 204 || 33 || align="left" | 5th in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost division final |- align="right" | align="left" | 2007–08 || 39 || 25 || 10 || 3 || 1 || 176 || 135 || 54 || align="left" | 1st in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost conference final |- align="right" | align="left" | 2008–09 || 40 || 28 || 6 || 4 || 2 || 201 || 116 || 62 || align="left" | 1st in EO Valley || align="left" | Lost conference final |}
