After winning its intertown series with Grand Falls, it was agreed that Corner Brook would represent western Newfoundland.

The Corner Brook team defeated the Guards in the final game and was presented the recently donated Herder Memorial Trophy as the first all-Newfoundland champions.

The Royals' first provincial playoff action was in the all-Newfoundland section 'B' semi-finals in February 1956 against the Grand Falls Bees for the Evening Telegram Trophy.

In August 2012, the team was renamed the Western Royals, and moved to Deer Lake[1] due to increased cost of using the Pepsi Centre, and low turnout at games.
