The Pembroke Royals is a junior ice hockey club and franchise of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). The team plays its home games at the Pembroke Memorial Centre in Pembroke, Ontario.
The club was established as a new franchise in 2026 as a result of legal a dispute between the league and the owner of the defunct Pembroke Lumber Kings franchise over ownership of the Lumber Kings name. The league terminated the membership of the former Lumber Kings owner over allegations of "harassing and mistreating players and failing to operate the business in an ethical manner." Notably, the Lumber Kings were once suspended by the league for the 1979–80 season and were replaced by a club called the Royals.
