History

The Fort Saskatchewan Traders are the 2nd oldest franchise still operating in its original city after the Calgary Canucks. The team's name comes from Fort Saskatchewan's history as an North West Mounted Police trading fort when it was originally settled in the 1870s.

In 1978-79, the Traders completed their most successful season in the AJHL, as they won the league championship, and then defeated the Richmond Sockeyes of the BCHL in the Vernon Cup (forerunner to the Doyle Cup) before falling to the eventual national champion Prince Albert Raiders in six games at the Centennial Cup finals.

The Traders fell upon hard times in their last years as financial difficulties and low attendance left the future of the Traders in doubt. The Traders were reportedly sold to a group representing St. Albert during the 2005-06 season, however the deal failed to gain league approval. Finally, on March 15, 2007, a deal to relocate the Traders to St. Albert for the 2007-08 season was approved, ending the Traders' 31 year run in Fort Saskatchewan.

Once relocated, the City of St. Albert renamed them the St. Albert Steel.
