Earlier in their history, the Regals won the 1970 Hardy Cup championship as Intermediate "A" hockey champions of Canada with a three games to two, best-of-five series win over Val-d'Or, Quebec.
After the Willingdon Civic Arena was completed in 1955, a three-team local league comprised Home Gas, Rodmay's and Wilshire's Variety Store.
Regals made their second and third consecutive trips to the Coy Cup finals in the following two seasons but were defeated on each occasion by the Kamloops Chiefs.
All games were to be played in the westernmost point, and Val D’our, Quebec, came to Powell River for a best-of-five series to determine the Hardy Cup champions of Canada.
They included Rudy Pantuso, Andy McCallum, Barry Lang, George Whyte, Doug Lessor, Gene Strueby, Al Small, Wally Anderson, Bob Keil, Desi Lever, Orris Sage, Ev Henderson and Mel Waldron.
The team moved to the new Powell River Recreation Complex for the 1975–76 season and dominated the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey League.
Mike Andrews, also a member of the 200 goal club, was in his second season with the club and, along with Vanderkemp and Casparie, would form the core of a team in the 1980s that, with the additions of players like Pierre Roy, Gary Pierce, Verne Kinley, Tod English, Darren Clark and Brian Inkster, would climb up the rankings and quickly become one of the top teams in both the league and the province.
The team breezed through the round-robin, received a bye to the final, and were able to rest and watch the host Whitehorse Canadians fall to Abbotsford in the semi-final.
With just 16 players on the score sheet, the team won 4-3 in the semi-finals over Sicamous and set up a final match with the host Penticton Silver Bullets.
After taking both the league and playoff titles in the RCHL, the Regals hosted the Coy Cup tournament and received the bye to the final after round-robin wins over Sicamous and Fort St. John, and a tie with the New Westminster Beavers.
In April 1995 the Regals hosted the Savage Cup tournament and earned the bye to the final with wins over Prince George, Bellingham and Quesnel.
After losing the first game to the defending champions from Warroad, Minnesota, Regals defeated Truro, Nova Scotia 6-1 before being eliminated by the host team after a 5–3 loss.
Regional champions from Stony Plain (West), Truro, Nova Scotia (East) and Warroad, Minnesota (Central) joined the host Regals to battle for the Canadian Senior AAA title.
Regals downed Truro and Warroad, then skated to a 3–3 tie with Stony Plain to finish atop the round-robin and secure a berth in the final.
Third-place finisher and three-time defending Allan Cup champion Warroad upset second place Truro in the semi-final and joined the Regals in the championship game.
Bob Moon scored the eventual winner early in the third followed by Rick McLaren's insurance marker, the second of the game for the team's rookie of the year.
Warroad answered once more but tournament MVP Scott Mastrodonato's goal into an empty net sealed a 7–3 victory for the home team in front of a packed recreation complex arena.
Competition was stiff, and the Regals finished the round-robin in fourth and would advance no further after losses to Truro and London, Ontario, and a win over Ile des Chenes, Manitoba.
Strong goaltending, the game plan from coach Kent Lewis, and timely scoring allowed the Regals to defeat the Quebec team and move on to the final.
The Regals' all-time leading scorer Tod English scored a first-period goal, and Chad Vizzutti weathered the storm, turning away each shot he faced.
Lloydminster tied the game in the second but third period goals by tournament MVP Trent Kaese and right-winger Mike Hassman gave the Regals a two-goal cushion.
With both Chad Vizzutti and Scott Peters hurt, Canada/Regals went with Jamie Ram in goal in the final game and after a couple bounces, Poland eked out a 6–5 win to claim the Nagano Cup.
The Quebec champions went on to defeat Stony Plain in the final and become the first visiting team to win a national title on Powell River ice.
The Regals traveled to Dawson Creek for the 2003-2004 Savage Cup tournament and fell in marathon semi-final match against the host club in the fourth-overtime period.
The rebuilt 2004-2005 squad breezed through the Savage Cup tournament in Trail with a win over the East Kootenay Royals, as well as two victories over the host club.
Awaiting the Regals in the next round, not the perennial Alberta Champion Stony Plain Eagles, but Theoren Fleury, Gino Odjick, and the Horse Lake Thunder.
The team started off the year with a pair of exhibition games at home versus the Victoria Salmon Kings of the East Coast Hockey League.
But Jamie Leach dug the puck out and threw it into the high slot and onto the stick of Mike MacKay, whose one timer found the back of the net for the winner with just 1.7 seconds left.
“It was heartbreaking to lose the way we did,” he said, “but in some small way it was a good thing because since we didn’t win, we still have something to shoot for.” Mastrodonato then warned “that if they had won in their first year then everyone would have thought we’re good enough and the truth is, we’re not.” One of the founding members of the Powell River Minor Hockey Association and a driving force in the creation of the Regals, Powell River's own Mr. Hockey, Hap Parker, died in September 2008, at the age of 94.
The Stamps entered the third period with a 4-2 lead until Jack Long's one-timer (from Granbois and Riley Billy) on the power play point found the top corner of the net.
