History

The current Falcons franchise originated in 1968. The league entered the "Niagara District Junior "B" Hockey League" that same year. The Niagara "B" became the Golden Horseshoe "B" in 1974. The Falcons have competed every year in the league since 1968.

Memorable Games

On March 26, 2006 the St. Catharines Falcons played one of the most memorable games in their history. In Game 6 of the semi-finals against the Thorold Blackhawks, the team played an epic four-overtime game. Ironically, if the falcons had won they would have played game 7 on the same day game 6 ended.
