In 1972, the Seneca Flyers became a part of the OPJHL. In 1975, they bought out the Newmarket Redmen of the Mid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League and moved to become the Newmarket Flyers. The Mid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League was a Junior "B" Ice hockey league based in Southern Ontario. The Redmen dated back to the 1950s and were at one point a top level Junior "C" team.
Although the official story is that the Hurricanes got their start in the late 1980s as the Newmarket 87's, the franchise that spawned this team existed long before it. In 1986, the Newmarket Flyers folded. The OHA Junior "A" league was on rocky footing in the late 80s and was no longer cost efficient for most member teams. Sensing the demise of the league, the Flyers went on hiatus. The league folded in 1987, their last champions happened to be the longtime Junior "B" team: Owen Sound Greys. The Owen Sound Greys are a Canadian junior Ice hockey team based in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. As more Junior A teams had folded from the OHA-A, the more Junior "B" teams came in to fill the void. As the league ran almost completely out of original Junior "A" teams, the league decided it would be best to fold. The result was a mass expansion of local Junior "B" leagues -- filling with both still-active teams and teams that had folded due to problems in the OHA-A. Newmarket pulled its franchise back together and joined the Central Junior "B" Hockey League as the 87's. After 1997, the 87's became the Hurricanes.
The 87's never did very well as a member of the Central "B", but no team exactly stacked up well to the powerhouse Barrie Colts who most notably pulled off an undefeated season in 1992-93. The Barrie Colts are a Junior ice hockey team in Ontario Hockey League, based in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. After the formation of the Ontario Provincial Junior "A" league in 1993, things started clicking for the franchise. They have never ranked less than 10th in a 37 team league, with 3 first place finishes in the regular season. They have also pulled off three seasons with less than 10 losses in the OPJHL.
Their best season was the 1995-96 season, after the Colts expanded into the Ontario Hockey League. The 87's finished in third place, won the Buckland Cup as league champions, and then took the Dudley Hewitt Cup as Central Canadian Junior "A" Champions. The Dudley Hewitt Cup is a championship Ice hockey trophy won by tournament conducted by the Canadian Junior Hockey League. At the inaugural Royal Bank Cup in 1996 at Melfort, Saskatchewan, the 87's finished off in the round robin in second place with a 2-2 record. The Royal Bank Cup is an annual Ice hockey tournament held to determine the Canadian Junior A champion. The Inaugural Royal Bank Cup 1996 is the Tier II Junior "A" 1996 Ice hockey National Championship for Melfort ( 2006 population 5192 is a small Canadian city in Saskatchewan, approximately 95 km (60 mi southeast of Prince Albert. They defeated the BCHL's Vernon Vipers 7-5 in their first game.

The Yorkton Terriers are a team in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League based out of Yorkton Saskatchewan. Everything was looking great, but the 87's soon fell apart. In the third game, the 87's were up against the only other undefeated team -- the host, the SJHL's Melfort Mustangs. The Melfort Mustangs are a Tier-II Junior "A" team based out of Melfort Saskatchewan, Canada The Mustangs deflated the high-flying 87's with an 11-3 blow-out. Melfort finished perfect in the round robin, but the 87's were embarressed again by the MJAHL's Moncton Beavers, 4-3. History Originally known as the Metro Valley Junior Hockey League, the league was founded in 1967 by Fred McGillivray and Louie Lewis of Halifax Nova Scotia The Dieppe Commandos are a Canadian Junior Ice hockey team from Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada. The embarrassment was not due to the score, but due to the Beavers standing as the only winless team left in the round robin until this point. The Moncton victory still left them eliminated from the tournament. Also, due to a tie breaker the 87's were still in second place. They ended up playing the Vipers again in the semi-final and lost by an uninspired score of 7-4. The Vipers knocked off the undefeated Mustangs 2-0 in the final.
In the 2005-06 season, the Hurricanes were excellent. They finished 7th overall in the league and 2nd place in the North Division with 32 wins. The Canes opened the playoffs with a 4 games to 1 series victory of the inconsistent Huntsville-Muskoka Otters. The Huntsville Otters are a Tier II Junior "A" Ice hockey team from Huntsville, Ontario, Canada. The Canes ran into tho a brickwall the next round, the division semi-final, when they ran into a Stouffville Spirit squad that was firing on all cylinders. The Stouffville Spirit are a Junior "A" Ice hockey team from Stouffville, Ontario, Canada. The Spirit won the series in 6 games, beat the Aurora Tigers for the division title in 6 games, beat the Oakville Blades in 7 games in the Buckland Cup semi-final, but were out-lasted by the defending champion St. Michael's Buzzers 4 games to 2 in the league final.
