History

edit

The Dodgers started out in Woodbridge, Ontario as part of the Toronto Metro Junior B Hockey League. In 1962, the Dodgers were moved to Weston. They played reached the finals of the 1964 Sutherland Cup but lost to the Waterloo Siskins 4-1.[1] With the formation of the Junior A Ontario Hockey Association, the Dodgers moved up in the OPJHL in 1972.[2]

Moved in 1972, the Dodgers played five seasons of OPJHL Hockey. Their best season was their first season where they finished in 6th place overall, but it is doubtful they ever made the playoffs after that year. After four straight losing seasons, the Dodgers folded in 1977.
