The Ottawa West Golden Knights are a Canadian Junior ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario. They formerly play in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. Following the 2014-15 season in an attempt to create a better player development model the EOJHL and the CCHL set a new agreement. Resulted in the league re-branding itself as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2), reduced to 16 teams and two divisions. The Golden Knihts are in the Martin Division.
History
Easily the most powerful team in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League in recent years, the Golden Knights have won five league championships in eight seasons. Their greatest challenge to date may have been the Westport Rideaus in the 2005-06 playoffs. The Rideaus had the Golden Knights pinned down and against the wall 3--to-2 in the final, but the Golden Knights battled back and took the last two nail-biters to win their fourth title.
The Golden Knights recently had a banner year for the 2008-2009 season by winning the D. Arnold Carson trophy for the 6th time in the team's history and its 5th league championship in 8 years. The Knights also captured the 2008 Boxing Day Tournament title.
2012-2013 Looks to be a rebuild year for the Knights after losing 3 Top Defensemen in Neil Clarke, Mitch Fournier and Sebastien Dubus,Goaltender Jacob Blair who is now playing for the Ottawa 67's and a Top Forward in Ben Minkus. The Knights look strong out of the gates going 7-4-0 in 11 Games.
