The Royals were 1959-60 EPHL champions.

The Eastern Professional Hockey League was a minor pro hockey league that operated for four seasons from 1959 to 1963 and served as a farm system for the NHL. During its first three seasons the league was made up of six teams, all of them in Canada. The Hull-Ottawa Canadiens were a Montreal Canadiens farm club. They played at both the Arena de Hull and the Ottawa Auditorium, hence the club’s hyphenated name. They had been part of the OHA Senior A league for three years before the creation of the EPHL, coached by such future luminaries as Sam Pollock and Scotty Bowman. Many Montreal Canadiens players of the 1960s came up through Hull-Ottawa. The Royals were the offspring of the venerable Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, the original Stanley Cup champions. By the early 1930s the MAAA could no longer support all its sporting departments, so the men in charge of the hockey team spun it off under the name Royal Montreal Hockey Club. They played in the Montreal Senior Group from 1932 to 1937, the Quebec Senior Hockey League from 1937 to 1953, the Quebec Hockey League from 1953 to 1959, and were founding members of the EPHL in 1959. The Royals roster was also loaded with future Montreal Canadians. Like the NHL the EPHL played a 210-game schedule, or 70 games per team, spread over five-and-a-half months, followed by about a month of playoff games. The EPHL’s championship trophy (see it above) was the Tom Foley Memorial Trophy, named after an Ottawa broadcaster who was killed in a car crash in 1959.
October 6th was the 1960-61 season opener. The Royals visited the Hull-Ottawa at the Hull Arena.
