==History== [[File:cornwall royals jersey.jpg|thumb|Cornwall Royals home jersey]] From 1961 until 1969, the Cornwall Royals were successful members of the [[Central Junior A Hockey League]] (CJHL). As perennial CJHL champions, they represented that league at the playdowns for the [[1966 Memorial Cup|1966]], [[1967 Memorial Cup|1967]] and [[1968 Memorial Cup]] national junior hockey championships, falling in the quarterfinals each year against the representatives from Quebec. After an application to join the OHL was rejected, the franchise became one of the inaugural teams of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] in 1969. The Cornwall Royals were one of the league's premier teams during its tenure in the QMJHL, winning 3 [[Memorial Cup]] titles. For the 1981β82 season, the team transferred into the Ontario Hockey League. The Royals suffered through many tough seasons and poor attendance after moving to the OHL. The switch in leagues alienated many die-hard fans from across the Quebec border. Seeking better fortunes, the franchise moved to [[Newmarket, Ontario]] to play as the '''[[Newmarket Royals]]''' in 1992. In 1994 the team was bought by the Ciccarelli brothers and moved to Sarnia, Ontario as the [[Sarnia Sting]].
