Bancroft Hawks

The Bancroft Hawks were a Tier II Junior "A" team from Bancroft, Ontario, Canada. They were a part of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.

History
In 1998, the Metro Junior A Hockey League folded and merged with the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. The Quinte Hawks moved into the OPJHL but were relocated to Bancroft, Ontario. In nine seasons, the Bancroft Hawks would never celebrate a winning season.

In 2007, due to mounting troubles with finding appropriate ownership and supporting the team financially, the Bancroft Hawks were granted a leave from the Ontario Hockey Association.

The franchise was bought in 2008 by a Toronto group and became the Upper Canada Hockey Club of Toronto. The name was changed to the Upper Canada Patriots in 2009.
