The Knights are the first junior team in Meaford since the Meaford Monarchs of the Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League in the late 1970s.[3]

On September 8, 2013, the Knights travelled to Burlington, Ontario to play their first ever game against the Halton Ravens. Despite trailing 6-3 in the second period, the Knights rallied to win the game 9-8. Zach Newman scored the first goal in team history at 3:52 of the first period. Jesse Martel picked up the win in net for the Knights.[4]

On October 17, 2013, the Knights of Meaford played their first ever home game. The Knights defeated the Lefroy Wave 5-3 in front of a sold-out crowd. Connor Long picked up the eventual game-winning goal.[5]
