History
The team was formed in 2008 and applied for a spot in the Heritage Junior B Hockey League for the 2008-2009 season. They were accepted and began to play in the league in September 2008. The franchise requested and were granted a leave of absence for the 2013-2014 season in order to re-organize. An agreement with Strathmore Minor Hockey (SMHA) paved the way for the team to return to the heritage league for the 2014-2015 season.{{cite web |url=http://www.strathmorestandard.com/2014/02/27/triumphant-return-for-strathmore-wheatland-kings |title=Triumphant return for Kings {{!}} Strathmore Standard |website=www.strathmorestandard.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121234232/http://www.strathmorestandard.com/2014/02/27/triumphant-return-for-strathmore-wheatland-kings |archive-date=2016-11-21}}
