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]
