They won the Western Junior B title in 1952 as the London Lou Ball Juniors, after sponsor Lou Ball's clothing store. In 1963 the Toronto Maple Leafs began sponsoring the team, by now called the Nationals after sponsor the Canadian National Recreation Association, an organization of Canadian National Railways employees. "Leafs" and "Maple Leafs" redirect here For the former American Hockey League team see St The Leafs traditionally had affiliations with the Toronto Marlboros and St. Michael's Majors, however with the withdrawal of the Majors from the OHA and the collapse of the Metro Junior A League, the Leafs were left with one team only.

In 1968, businessman Howard Darwin bought the London Nationals (he also owned the Ottawa 67's) as the era of NHL sponsorship of junior hockey ended. Year 1968 ( MCMLXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The Ottawa 67’s are a Junior ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Darwin wanted to give a fresh look to the team, and so held a contest to rename the team. Londoner Brian Logie suggested the name Knights, and the team's colours were changed to green, white and gold. In 1970 the team also hired trainer Don Brankley, who stayed with the team until retiring at the end of the 2007-08 season. Don "Branks" Brankley (born in Capreol Ontario) is the team trainer for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. The team grew from a chronic also-ran in the late 1960s and early 1970s to a contender near the end of the decade. The highlight of the Darwin era came in 1976-77, when a powerful Knights team led by future NHLers Rob Ramage, Brad Marsh and Dino Ciccarelli defeated the St. Catharines Fincups in the conference final on an overtime goal by Dan Eastman to advance to the OHL final against the 67's. The 1976–77 OMJHL season was the 3rd season of the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League. Robert "Rob" Ramage was born on January 11, 1959 in London Ontario, Canada and was a professional Ice hockey player from Charles Bradley Marsh (born March 31, 1958 in London, Ontario) is a professional Ice hockey player who played the position of defenceman Dino Ciccarelli (born February 8, 1960 in Sarnia, Ontario) is a Canadian former professional hockey player who played 19 seasons in The Fincups were a Junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League for 4 years from 1974 to 1978 Dan R Eastman (born 1948 is an American politician and Businessman (Car Sales from Utah.

However, right winger Brendan Shanahan would soon rise to prominence and help to draw larger crowds.

In 1986 Howard Darwin sold the Knights and the arena to Paris, Ontario businessmen Jack Robillard, Al Martin and Bob Wilson. Year 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link displays 1986 Gregorian calendar) Paris (2006 Urban Area population 11177 is a community on the Grand River in Ontario, Canada. The trio also owned the Hamilton Steelhawks. The Hamilton Steelhawks were a Junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League from 1984 to 1988 The Knights were sold for a dollar but the London Gardens was sold at market value. The new ownership group modernized the team's logo and renovated the Gardens. Under their stewardship the Knights would go on a run of success. Between 1987 and 1993 the team would finish no lower than third in the Emms Division, including a division title in 1989-90.

In 1994 the Knights were sold to St. Thomas, Ontario real estate developer Doug Tarry, Sr. St Thomas is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is the seat for Elgin County and gaining its city Charter on Real estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions notably in the USA, United Kingdom Unfortunately, Tarry would die before the team had played a game under his ownership, and the team was inherited by his son, Doug Tarry, Jr. . Upon taking command, Tarry carried out further renovations on the Gardens including a name change to the "London Ice House. " He also alienated a fair portion of the team's fan base by changing the team's uniforms from traditional green and gold to eggplant and teal, and changing the logo to a cartoonish Spider-Man caricature, instantly and derisively nicknamed "Spiderknight"[1] by the faithful. Spider-Man is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. The 1995-96 OHL season went down in history as the worst in the history of the Canadian Hockey League.

The years following the so-called "Knightmare" season were improved, but the team was still a long way from the league's upper echelon. Meanwhile, the Ice House was falling apart as the Tarry family had stopped putting money into it as a part of their lobbying the city of London for a new arena. However, the re-signing of former Head Coach Gary Agnew, and the signing of future NHLers Rico Fata and Tom Kostopoulos heralded a marked turnaround for the team's fortunes. Gary Agnew (born May 24, 1960 in Niagara Falls Ontario) is an Ice hockey coach who is currently an assistant coach of the Columbus Rico Fata (born February 12, 1980 in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario) is a Canadian professional Ice hockey Right Winger Thomas Kostopoulos (born January 24 1979 in Mississauga Ontario) is a Canadian Ice hockey player In 1999, the Knights went on an unexpected playoff run, in which they defeated the number-one-in-the-CHL Plymouth Whalers in seven games in the quarterfinals and ultimately went all the way to the OHL championship, which they lost in seven games to the Belleville Bulls.
