The Thessalon Flyers were a Tier II Junior "A" ice hockey team from Thessalon, Ontario, Canada. This defunct hockey team was a part of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and also the North of Superior Junior B Hockey League.

[edit] History

The Flyers played in 3 seasons in the NOJHL. The addition of the Flyers helped break the league from an interlocking schedule with the OHA Jr. "A" League, which otherwise would have probably fatally cripple the NOJHL.

In 1990, the Flyers inexplicably folded.

In 2003-04, the Flyers came back and entered the NSHL, but that ended up being the last season in NSHL history. The Flyers were good enough to make the finals, but lost out the defending champion Wawa Travellers. After the season, the Flyers and the Aguasabon River Rats left the league, leaving the Wawa Travellers and the Marathon Renegades and the league to fold.
