The Thunderhawks entered the OLA in 2003. After a slow but modest start, Niagara broke out with a .500 record in 2005 and earned their first birth into the playoffs. Success really came in 2006 as the Thunderhawks finished 15-5-0 and finished in second place overall in the West Conference. They beat out the upstart Hamilton Bengals in the first round 3 games straight. In the second round they faced the more challenging Windsor Fratmen where they went the distance, winning 3 games to 2. The Semi-final went the distance as well, as they faced the Orangeville Northmen, but this time they were eliminated in five games.
