The Ottawa 67’s are a junior ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Canada. They have played in the Ontario Hockey League since 1967, Canada's centennial year. The current coach is Brian Kilrea, the winningest coach in Junior hockey history.

History


The Ontario Hockey Association granted the city of Ottawa an expansion franchise on February 16, 1967. Four months later, the team would be named the Ottawa 67's in honour of Canada's centennial year. Three local businessmen, Bill Cowley, Howard Darwin and Bill Touhey, helped bring junior hockey back to Canada's capital. The 67's filled the void left by the departure of the Ottawa Jr. Canadiens and the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens in 1963.

Bill Long would be the team's first head coach. The 67's played their first game on October 6, 1967, losing 9-0 on the road versus the Niagara Falls Flyers. The first 11 home games of the season were played in Hull, Quebec, as their new home arena was still under construction. The first season for the 67's was terrible at best, the final record was six wins, 45 losses and three ties. Despite this, they made the playoffs in their second season but lost in the quarter-finals to the Niagara Falls Flyers.
