The Windsor Royals were a Canadian Junior C ice hockey team based in Windsor, Nova Scotia. For their first three seasons the club was known as the Avon River Rats and they played in the Nova Scotia Junior C Hockey League. The team was advised they were in copyright violation with the River Rats. Prior to the 2018-19 season they obtained the name of the Windsor Royals (formerly a team in the league which folded) and re-branded the organization. They are coached by Mike LaPierre. They have historically been a playoff contender, but rarely progressing deep.
