The Terrace River Kings are a senior ice hockey team in the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) based in Terrace, British Columbia.
History
The team debuted in the 2004–05 CIHL season. In 2024, the team defeated the Williams Lake Stampeders in a best-of-3 playoff series to win the CIHL championship Cameron Kerr Memorial Cup. The trophy's namesake was a former River Kings player who was struck and killed by an automobile in a hit-and-run while walking in 2018. The team then went on to win the BC Hockey Senior AA championship Coy Cup after beating the Powell River Regals 5-4 in triple overtime.
