The Cornwall Nationals are a minor professional ice hockey team in the Federal Hockey League (FHL) announced to begin play in the 2016–17 season. Based in Cornwall, Ontario, the Nationals play their home games at the Ed Lumley Arena.

History

The Nationals were founded in September 2016, when the Cornwall River Kings of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH) folded just prior to the 2016–17 season. The team is led by general manager Mitch Gagne and team president Rodney Rivette.^[1] Prior to creating the Nationals, Rivette led a last-minute fundraising campaign to save the River Kings but did not get enough support in time for the LNAH's deadlines.

On September 14, 2016, the city of Cornwall, Ontario, approved a team called the Cornwall Nationals to begin play for the 2016–17 season out of the Ed Lumley Arena.^[2] On September 16, the Federal Hockey League (FHL) approved of the addition to the league for the upcoming season.^[1]^[3] On September 17, Rivette and Gagne presented the first four players (Lou Dickenson, Jeff Legue, Jason Lepine, and Kris McCarthy) and revealed logo and jerseys.^[4]
