The Komoka Kings are a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Komoka, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Western division of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League.
History
In 1968, the Petrolia Jets joined the Border Cities Junior "B" league. Although not much is known about the league prior to '68, it is thought that the team originated in the "Bluewater Junior "C" Hockey League" by OHA historians. When the BCJCHL became the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League in 1970, the Jets stayed on board. In 1972, the Jets moved up to Western Junior "B", but were sent back to Junior "C" in 1984. In 1989, the Jets came back to the Western "B".
The Petrolia Jets moved to Forest, Ontario[1] in 2008.[2] Their name was changed to the Lambton Shores Predators, to match the name of the local minor hockey system.[3]
During the summer of 2017, the Predators relocated and became the Komoka Kings and now play out of the Komoka Wellness Centre - 1 Tunks Lane, Komoka, ON N0L 1R0. The Kings first regular season home game in Komoka was also against the Sarnia Legionnaires and ended in a 3-3 2OT tie. Captain Andrew Kim scored 2 goals and Isaac McLean added 1.
