The '''Powell River Kings''' are a [[junior ice hockey]] team based in [[Powell River, British Columbia]], Canada. They are members of the Coastal Conference of the [[British Columbia Hockey League]] (BCHL). They play their home games at Hap Parker Arena.

==History==

Powell River joined the [[British Columbia Junior Hockey League]] (BCJHL) for the start of the 1988–89 season with the name the "Paper Kings", when they assumed the Delta Flyers franchise. They dropped the "Paper" from their name for the start of the 1998–99 season.

The Kings had their greatest run of team success from the [[2008–09 BCHL season|2008–09]] season through the [[2011-12 BCHL season|2011–12]] season, during which they reached the Fred Page Cup finals in four consecutive years. Kings goaltender [[Michael Garteig]], who played for Powell River for two seasons and was instrumental in the [[2010–11 BCHL season|2010–11]] finals run, signed as a free agent with the [[Vancouver Canucks]] after his 2016-17 season in the NCAA with the [[Quinnipiac Bobcats men's ice hockey|Quinnipiac Bobcats]].<ref>https://www.prpeak.com/local-sports/vancouver-canucks-sign-former-powell-river-kings-goalie-3398778</ref> Garteig was called up to the Canucks, dressing as a backup on November 17th, 2016 against the [[Arizona Coyotes]].<ref>https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-call-up-goalie-garteig</ref> The BCHL's Top Goaltender Award was renamed in Garteig's honour.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2022-07-14 |title=Top Goaltender Award renamed the Michael Garteig Trophy |url=https://bchl.ca/top-goaltender-award-renamed-the-michael-garteig-trophy |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=bchl.ca |language=en-US}}</ref>
