== History ==

=== New Westminster Royals ===

[[New Westminster]] was home to several professional ice hockey teams, all named the [[New Westminster Royals]], in the 1910s, 1940s, and 1950s. In 1962, a New Westminster Royals [[junior ice hockey]] team joined the Pacific Coast Junior Hockey League (PCJHL). After the Royals won five straight league championships, the PCJHL merged with the [[British Columbia Junior Hockey League]] (BCJHL) in 1967. They were [[Abbott Cup]] finalists in 1967 during the [[1967 Memorial Cup]] playdowns. In 1971, the now [[Junior ice hockey#Junior A|Junior A]] Royals franchise went dormant when the [[Junior ice hockey#Major junior|major junior]] [[Western Hockey League|Western Canada Hockey League's Estevan franchise relocated and became]] the [[New Westminster Bruins]]. In 1981 the Bruins left New Westminster, and the Royals were reactivated for two seasons. In 1983, a different major junior Bruins' team relocated from [[Nanaimo Islanders|Nanaimo]] to New Westminster, and the Royals again went dormant. In 1988, the Bruins left, and the Royals were reactivated. The Royals won the 1989–90 [[British Columbia Hockey League#BCHL Fred Page Cup champions|Fred Page Cup]] as BCHL playoff champions.

Future NHL star [[Cliff Ronning]] was a notable early 1980s Royals' squad member. Future convicted fraudster Frank Biller played for the Royals from 1988 to 1990.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/biller-gets-3-years-for-eron-fraud-in-b-c-1.536085 |title=Biller gets 3 years for Eron fraud in B.C. |work=[[CBC News]] |date=2005-09-08 |access-date=2018-04-26}}</ref>

=== Surrey ===

In 1991, the New Westminster Royals relocated to [[Surrey, British Columbia]]. The Eagles did not make it past the quarterfinals in the playoffs for the first four seasons in South Surrey. In 1997, their fifth season, the Eagles finished with a record of 47–7–6 for 100 points and won the BCHL championship by defeating the [[Vernon Vipers]] in the Subway Cup. The Eagles beat the [[Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League]] champions Cranbrook Colts and the [[Fort McMurray Oil Barons]] of the [[Alberta Junior Hockey League]] to earn a berth in the [[Royal Bank Cup]]. In the tournament, held in [[Summerside, Prince Edward Island]], the Eagles went 3–1 in the round-robin and beat the [[Kanata Valley Lasers]] 4–2 in the semifinal before losing to the host [[Summerside Western Capitals]] 4–3 in the championship game.

In the following 1997–98 season, the South Surrey Eagles won the [[Royal Bank Cup]] with the tournament held in [[Nanaimo, British Columbia]], defeating the [[Weyburn Red Wings]] 4–1 in the final.

The Eagles' following seasons also were successful, losing the league title to eventual [[Royal Bank Cup]] winner [[Vernon Vipers]] in 1999, then twice losing in the league semifinal, and winning the league title in 2005 over the [[Vernon Vipers]] four games to one. In the 2005 [[Doyle Cup]] series, they lost to [[Camrose Kodiaks]] four games to one.

In 2012–13, the Eagles won the [[British Columbia Hockey League]] championship by defeating the [[Penticton Vees]] in six games. They then won the inaugural [[Western Canada Cup]] with a 4–2 win over the [[Brooks Bandits]] in the championship game. At the [[Royal Bank Cup]], the Surrey Eagles went 3–1 in the round-robin to finish in second place but lost to the host [[Summerside Western Capitals]] in overtime in the semifinal game.fred page cup
