Wembley Monarchs

The Wembley Monarchs were an ice hockey team in the United Kingdom.

The Grosvenor House Canadians played their home matches at the Park Lane Rink but from 1934 the Empire Pool in Wembley Park, London, (now the SSE Arena) was the home ice for the Canadians/Monarchs (which they shared with the Wembley Lions).

Foreign players faced heavy fines and deportation if found to have engaged in on-ice violence or unsportsmanlike conduct, so bar brawls and fights in the locker rooms with opposing players after games were far from uncommon.

After World War II ice shows became frequent events over the Christmas and New Year period and hosting two teams at Empire Pool became impractical.

Left Wing Kauppi was voted MVP of the 1949 Autumn Cup game for scoring the winning goal in overtime.
