A Definitive Journey Through the Forest City's Rich & Often Overlooked Hockey Heritage!

From the city’s earliest frozen ponds and wooden-boarded rinks to the thunderous cheers of modern championship crowds, The Untold Story of London’s Deep Hockey Roots uncovers how London, Ontario grew into one of Canada’s most passionate and enduring hockey centres.

This is not just another hockey history—it’s the complete, meticulously researched story of a city shaped by the game.

A Story That Starts on the Ice… and Never Lets Up

Step back to the days when hockey in London was played on natural ice and organized teams were only beginning to emerge. Follow the city’s early clubs as they fought through triumphs, failures, rivalries, and reinventions—each chapter revealing the grit and determination that built London’s hockey identity.

Meet the colourful characters who drove the game forward long before the city ever hoisted its first league championship trophy—a victory earned not at the junior level, but in a professional hockey league lost to history.

The Turning Point That Changed Everything

London’s hockey story accelerates dramatically when three former NHLers—two of them brothers—arrive to stabilize and revive a struggling OHL franchise.

What followed is now legend:

Three Memorial Cup championships

A surge of electrifying fan support

A powerhouse junior team known across Canada

Dozens of players who went on to NHL careers

This transformation didn’t just define a team—it reshaped the entire sports culture of the city.
