[edit] Championships
Georgian Bay has won 1 WOAA Championship, as they were Intermediate "B" champions in the 1977-78 season. The current team, which entered the WOAA in 2000-01, captured the Senior "A" championship in 2004.
[edit] 2006-07 River Rats Season
This season would prove to be disastrous for the River Rats, as they finished the regular season with a 0-24-0 record, last place in the 18 team WOAA. Georgian Bay did have a victory in mid-December, a 4-3 win over the Durham Thundercats, however they were stripped of the win due to playing with illegal players.
The River Rats struggles continued into their best of 3 qualifying series with the Drayton Icemen, as they were swept in 2 games by the Icemen, ending the River Rats season.
[edit] 2007-08 River Rats Season
After dropping their first game of the season, the River Rats would earn their first victory in nearly 2 years when Georgian Bay would defeat the expansion team Shallow Lake Crushers 7-5, ending their long losing streak. Wins would be few and far between for the River Rats all season long, as they finished with a 4-22-0 record, however, the Georgian Bay would finish in 7th place, and earn a spot in the "A" playoffs.
The River Rats opponent in the quarter-finals was the Milverton Four Wheel Drives, and Georgian Bay quickly found themselves down 2 games to none after Milverton won both the games on their home ice by scores of 13-2 and 9-3. The series moved to Georgian Bay for the next 2 games, but it was Milverton continue to win by blowout scores, winning both games 3 and 4 by a 10-4 score, eliminating the River Rats from the playoffs.
In June 2008, the Georgian Bay River Rats announced that they were moving from Thornbury, Ontario to Angus, Ontario.
