[edit] History

Founded in 1975, the Ironmen started out in Junior "D". They joined the Central Junior "C" Hockey League in 1979. A season after the league became the Western Junior "C" Hockey League in 1988, the Ironmen took a one season hiatus. In recent years, the Ironmen have won two league titles (2004, 2005) and even made it to the Clarence Schmalz Cup All-Ontario Final, losing out to the Grimsby Peach Kings 4-games-to-0.

(*) The 1999-00 Season was altered drastically due to the folding of the Lakeshore Pirates. As a disproportionate amount of games had been played by each team against Lakeshore, all history of these games were erased.
