History

Playing out of London, the Knights are widely acknowledged by fans of the league to be the best modern team. They field a mostly-McPsychovillian team, but recently have signed a number of international players to complement the more attacking style general manager Peter Fortier favours. Their long-standing rivalry with the Andrecht Argonauts still remains, but the gap in class is starting to show; while the Knights won the Jay Summers Trophy last year, Andrecht finished last in the First Division, and were relegated as a result (the Cednia Snowmen took their place)
