[edit] History

King City was the home of the Metro Junior B's King City Dukes from 1984 until 1986 when they were sold off to interest in North York, Ontario. The Dukes were founded as the Weston Dukes. King City has been attempting to get another team since losing the Dukes, but were unsuccessful until the GMHL granted them a franchise.

The King Wild's first game was the first game in the GMHL's history. The game took place on September 8, 2006 against the Richmond Hill Rams in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Wild fell 6-0 to the Rams despite badly outshooting them. The Wild's first victory was a 5-1 decision over the Toronto Canada Moose on September 9, 2006. The team's first home game was against the Nipissing Alouettes on September 10, 2006. The Wild were victorious, winning by a close 5-3 score.
