[edit] History

The Bowmanville Eagles have existed since 1978. The team became a part of the Central Junior C Hockey League. The Eagles won the Clarence Schmalz Cup as Ontario Hockey Association Junior "C" Champions in 1981. Past 1987, the Eagles enjoyed 8 straight winning seasons and 4 league championships. After their 3rd straight league title in 1995, the Eagles made the jump to the OPJHL.

From the 1995 until 2003, the Eagles achieved moderate results, never pushing much further than a barely winning record. Since 2003, the Eagles have put together 3 straight dominant seasons. The Eagles are due and with three straight 30+ win seasons, Bowmanville may have potential to win an OPJHL Championship in the near future.
