History

During the summer of 2014, the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association announced a 3-year partnership with the Junior 'B' hockey team. The new agreement includes the previous Stittsville Royals changing their name to the Stittsville RAMS Junior Hockey Club and wearing the RAMS logo and colours. In their first year of the new logo and colors the Stittsville Rams advanced to the league final. Unfortunately they could not better the league defending champions, Casselman Vikings, dropping the series 2 games to four. During the final stages of the 2015–16 season the Minor Hockey association declared the affiliation terminated. The team completed the season as the Rams. During the off season the team changed ownership re-located and re-branded the team by returning to their roots as the Richmond Royals. The addition of Embrun and Whitewater saw the league move the Royals from the Richardson to the Martin Division for the 2017–18 season.
