The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights program was formed in 2007 to build a stronger youth hockey presence in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Exposure to professional hockey in the region as home to the AHL Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins provided the perfect platform to which the Knights program could begin to grow. The Knights organization quickly became a new arena for local young athletes to develop and compete within the USA Hockey format. From day one, the Knights mission was to cultivate and field teams to participate at the highest levels throughout the US and Canada.
