[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.
