The '''Cornwall Royals''' were a junior ice hockey team based in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. The team played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) from 1969 to 1981, and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) from 1981 to 1992. They won the Memorial Cup three times as junior champions of Canada: in 1971, 1980, and 1981.
The Royals shared a common name with teams that played in the Quebec Senior Hockey League, the Central Junior A Hockey League.
==History== thumb|Cornwall Royals home jersey
From 1961 until 1969, the Cornwall Royals were successful members of the Central Junior A Hockey League (CJHL). As perennial CJHL champions, they represented that league at the playdowns for the 1966, 1967 and 1968 Memorial Cup national junior hockey championships, falling in the quarterfinals each year against the representatives from Quebec.{{citation needed|date=April 2026}}
After an application to join the OHL was rejected, the franchise became one of the inaugural teams of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 1969. The Cornwall Royals were one of the league's premier teams during its tenure in the QMJHL, winning three Memorial Cup titles.{{citation needed|date=April 2026}}
For the 1981–82 season, the team transferred into the Ontario Hockey League.<ref>{{cite news|title=Memorial Cup champion Royals may still leave Quebec league|date=May 14, 1981|newspaper=The Gazette|location=Montreal, Quebec|page=48|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-gazette-royals-1981/195549123/}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Cornwall drops out of QMJHL|date=May 19, 1981|newspaper=The Gazette|location=Montreal, Quebec|page=22|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-gazette-royals-1981/195549157/}}</ref>
The Royals suffered through many tough seasons and poor attendance after moving to the OHL. The switch in leagues alienated many die-hard fans from across the Quebec border. Seeking better fortunes, the franchise moved to Newmarket, Ontario to play as the Newmarket Royals in 1992. In 1994 the team was bought by the Ciccarelli brothers and moved to Sarnia, Ontario as the Sarnia Sting.{{citation needed|date=April 2026}}
==Championships== The Cornwall Royals are one of only 7 clubs to win consecutive Memorial Cup championships. They did so in 1980 and 1981. In total, the Royals won 3 Memorial Cups, 3 President's Cups, and 5 division titles while in the QMJHL. The Royals did not win any OHL championships.
