History
The Junior A team that now boasts the name "Terriers" was previously known as the Orillia Travelways and was a member of the Mid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League from at least 1971 to 1978. The Mid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League was a Junior "B" Ice hockey league based in Southern Ontario. The Mid-Ontario league was discontinued in 1978 and the Travelways were added to the Central Junior B Hockey League at that time. They moved up to the Tier II Junior A ranks for the first time in 1981, joining the Ontario Junior Hockey League, and won the 1985 Centennial Cup as the best Junior A team in Canada. The Royal Bank Cup is an annual Ice hockey tournament held to determine the Canadian Junior A champion.
They are not connected with the Orillia Terriers, a different club which competed in the OHA Senior A and Intermediate A ranks from 1968 to 1982. The Orillia Terriers were an Ice hockey team from Orillia Ontario, Canada that competed in the OHA Senior A and Intermediate A ranks History Major League Hockey gained its name in 2003 Since 1990 Major League Hockey was known as the Southwestern Senior "A" Hockey League. The Major Intermediate A Hockey League was an Ice hockey league in Ontario, Canada, sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Association.
Orillia was the league's top team, winning three straight playoff championships, but dropped out in 1986 when faulty trusses forced the closing of the Orillia Community Centre. During their absence the Junior A league collapsed, so the team returned to the Central Junior B league in 1987 under the name "Laidlaws" (their sponsor, the Travelways bus line was acquired by Laidlaw transportation). For the baron see Irvine Laidlaw Baron Laidlaw When Laidlaw dropped the sponsorship, they returned to their "Terriers" name in 1989 and returned to Tier II in 1993 when the Central loop became the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. The Terriers won the new league's first playoff championship in 1994.
At the time of their folding, the Terriers were the official farm team of the Barrie Colts and the parent club of the Alliston Hornets. The Barrie Colts are a Junior ice hockey team in Ontario Hockey League, based in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. The Alliston Hornets are a Canadian Junior Ice hockey team based in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. The Terriers folded due to financial troubles combined with a lack of arena time. The rink in Rama wanted too much money for ice time, so the Terriers wished to move back to Orillia -- their original home. Not enough ice time was available at the Orillia rink due to minor hockey needs. The Terriers also wanted to move to Orillia due to the town's deeper interest in junior hockey. Ticket sales in recent years in Rama were weak, but in Orillia, where the Terriers played a handful of games, the arena was near, if not full.
The Terriers will be back for 2007-08 [1].
