## History

The team was founded in 1999 in New Westminster as the Queen's Park Pirates, where they played their home games at the historic Queen's Park Arena until they relocating to the Sungod Arena in North Delta for the 2002–03 season, moving to North Delta, dropping the Pirates name and changing it to Flyers, to become the North Delta Flyers. The Flyers played three seasons before changing their name to Devils in 2005. The North Delta Devils relocated to the George Preston Recreation Centre in 2014, moved to Langley, dropped the Devils name and changed it to Knights, becoming the Langley Knights. On June 2, 2016, The PJHL announced the relocation of the Langley Knights to the city of Surrey in time for the 2016–17 season. This relocation happened because the Vancouver Giants relocated from the Pacific Coliseum to the Langley Events Centre, forcing the BCHL's Langley Rivermen out of their old home. They had to go to the George Preston Centre, which also forced the Knights out of Langley and into Surrey, to become the Surrey Knights.
