The St. Marys Lincolns are a Junior "B" team based out of St. Marys, Ontario. They play out of the Western Junior B Hockey League.
[edit] History
Founded in 1956, the Lincolns have never missed a season. The team survived a rather revolutionary era in Ontario hockey. In 1968, they walked away from the old "Western Junior B Hockey League" to avoid the opportunity to join the then-rengade Southern Ontario Junior A Hockey League. The Ontario Hockey Association then created a new "Central Junior B Hockey League", with the Lincolns as one of the league's charter members. The Lincolns jumped to the brand new "Western League" well before the "Central" became the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League in 1993.
Behind the Waterloo Siskins, the Lincolns are the second oldest Junior "B" team in all of Ontario.
