Pembroke Lumber Kings

The Pembroke Lumber Kings (colloquially referred to as the Kings) are a Junior A ice hockey team based in Pembroke, Ontario. The Lumber Kings compete in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) as a member of the West Division. The franchise is one of the ''Original Five'' teams of the league. Founded in 1964, the team folded in 1979, but came back in 1980. Since 1964, they play their home games at Pembroke Memorial Centre.

The Lumber Kings have won the most Bogart Cup championships of any CCHL franchise since its existence (14). The Kings played their home games at Pembroke Memorial Centre from 1964 until 1979, for 15 seasons. They got sold to a new ownership group, and came back for the 1980–81 season, and moved into Pembroke Memorial Centre once again. The Lumber Kings are one of the most popular and successful franchises in the CCHL; fans and sports commentators refer to the Pembroke area as "Hockeytown", which has been a registered trademark owned by the franchise since 1980.

Between the 2002–03 and 2018–19 seasons, the Lumber Kings missed the playoffs only four times. They struggled between the 2016–17 and 2018–19 seasons, with missing the playoffs for two seasons in a row. But other than that, Pembroke won a total of 14 Bogart Cup championships, including two in a row in 1983–84 and 1984–85, and five in a row between 2006–07 and 2010–11. Since 1980, it has consistently been listed as the league's busiest arena, usually receiving the highest attendance compared to any other arenas in the CCHL. In 2011, it was the fifth-busiest Junior A arena in Canada based on attendance numbers.
