History
East Kildonan Knights owner John Haasbeek folded his team in April 1981 after nine seasons. Haasbeek was then approached by Barry Bonni about keeping a team in the area. The two worked together and formed the new River East Royal Knights.[1]
The Knights have been to the league finals twelve times, winning seven Jack McKenzie Trophy championships.
