The Surrey Knights are a Junior "B" ice hockey team based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. They are members of the Harold Brittain Conference of the Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL). The Knights play their home games at the North Surrey Recreation Centre.

History

The team was founded in 1999 in New Westminster as the Queen's Park Pirates where they played at historic Queen's Park Arena until relocating to Sungod Arena in North Delta for the 2002-03 season and being renamed the Flyers. The Flyers played three seasons before rebranding as the North Delta Devils in 2005. The Devils relocated to the George Preston Recreation Centre in 2014 where they were renamed the Langley Knights. On June 2/16, The PJHL announced the relocation of the Langley Knights to the City of Surrey in time for the 2016-17 season. This was due to the Vancouver Giants relocating from the Pacific Coliseum to the Langley Events Centre. Which order the BCHL, Langley Rivermen to find a New Home in time for 16-17 Season at the George Preston Centre, which made the Knights relocate to find a new home...

In 2016-2017, the first season for the Surrey Knights, the Knights did not win a single game all season in the PJHL. The Knights’ last win in the Pacific Junior Hockey League was Thursday Nov. 19th, 2015, 3-2 win vs Abbotsford Pilots. a span of 89 games.

After a two-year winless streak, the Junior B Surrey Knights bagged a 2-0 win Friday 11/24/17 against the Abbotsford Pilots. Goalie Zakary Babin stood on his head, stopping 49 Abbotsford shots to get the shutout. The Knights mustered just 12 shots the other way. It would be the only win for Surrey Knights for 2017-2018.
