[edit] History
The Douro Dukes were one of six expansion teams for the 2007-08 GMHL season.
On September 6, 2007, the Douro Dukes played their first ever game at the Ennismore Arena against the Innisfil Lakers. John Minarik made 27 saves to record the Dukes first ever win and first ever shutout by a score of 2-0. Tony DeCarlo scored both the first and second goal in franchise history in the third period of this very close contest.
After a strong start to the season, the Dukes lost many of their key players to defections to other clubs. The Dukes won two of their first four games, beating Innisfil and the Nipissing Alouettes, but the bottom dropped out and the Dukes went on a horrid 38-game losing streak. Despite this, the Dukes ended up facing the King Wild in the first round of the playoffs. They kept the first game close, and games two, three, and four close until the third period, but the last year's finalists swept the series 4-games-to-none.
In April 2008, it was announced that the Dukes had moved to become the Warsaw Redmen, but a month later it was disclosed that the team would be moving to Beaverton, Ontario and would be called the Brock Bucks.
