The Dresden Kings finished last overall in the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League this season, failing to qualify for the playoffs. Most recently, the Kings captured the Great Lakes title in 2004. Founded in 1960, the organization has been a staple of the Dresden community for over 50 years, but are now welcoming several new faces on the executive to help guide the team back to its former glory.

First order on that agenda is to name a new head coach and general manager with the exit of Wayne Cowell leaving these positions vacant. Applications for the job(s) can be sent to new Dresden Jr. Kings president Dave Cameron at acecam@sympatico.ca.
