The [[Ontario Hockey League|Ontario Hockey Association]] granted the city of Ottawa an expansion franchise on February 16, 1967. Four months later, the team was given the nickname 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 Junior Canadiens]] and the [[Hull-Ottawa Canadiens]] in 1963.

[[Bill Long (ice hockey)|Bill Long]] was the team's first head coach. The 67's played their first game on October 6, 1967, losing 9-0 on the road, to 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, with the team posting a final record of 6 wins, 45 losses and 3 ties. They then made the playoffs in their second season, but lost in the quarter-finals to the Niagara Falls Flyers.

After a rebuilding season in 1973–74, the 67's hired a young up-and-coming coach named [[Brian Kilrea]], who has since become a legend in Ottawa. Kilrea coached the team to three successive improved winning records, culminating in a victory in the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] finals in 1977, versus the [[London Knights]], who were coached by former 67's bench boss Bill Long. During the late 1970s, Ottawa was led by scoring champions [[Peter Lee (ice hockey)|Peter Lee]], [[Bobby Smith (ice hockey)|Bobby Smith]] and [[Jim Fox (ice hockey)|Jim Fox]].

The 67's moved on to [[New Westminster, British Columbia|New Westminster, B.C.]], to compete for the [[Memorial Cup]], versus the [[New Westminster Bruins]] and [[Sherbrooke Castors]]. The 1977 Memorial Tournament was the first to be held in British Columbia and the first to use a double round-robin format. Ottawa lost the first game 7-6 to the Bruins, then won three in a row, 6-1 over the Castors, 4-3 in overtime versus the Bruins, and then 5-2 against Sherbrooke. However, Ottawa lost to the host Bruins 6-5 in the championship game.

In 1984, the 67's reached the OHL championship series in a rematch from the 1982 OHL finals, against the [[Kitchener Rangers]]. Kitchener had been chosen to host the [[Memorial Cup]] tournament that year, and the Rangers also made it to the OHL finals. This meant that Ottawa gained an automatic berth in the tournament when they reached the league championship against the Rangers. In the OHL itself, however, Ottawa had unfinished business, having lost to Kitchener two years earlier. The 67's, who finished second overall to Kitchener in the OHL, defeated the Rangers 3 games to 0, with 2 ties, winning the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] for the second time in franchise history.

At the Memorial Cup in Kitchener, Ottawa defeated the [[Laval Voisins]], featuring [[Mario Lemieux]], by a score 6-5 in their first game, then beat the [[Kamloops Blazers|Kamloops Jr. Oilers]] 5-1 in game two, before losing to Kitchener 7-2 to conclude the round-robin. In the semi-final game, Ottawa beat Kamloops again, this time in a 7-2 victory. In the finals versus Kitchener, Ottawa scored a victory in the third consecutive 7-2 game in the tournament, defeating the Rangers and winning their first Memorial Cup. The Most Valuable Player of the Tournament was [[Adam Creighton]]. After the season ended, Brian Kilrea left Ottawa to become an assistant coach in the NHL.

In 1999, 67's owner [[Jeff Hunt]] led the team's bid to host the [[1999 Memorial Cup]] tournament. Despite that fact that in 1997 the tournament had been hosted across the river in [[Hull, Quebec]], he was able to convince the [[Canadian Hockey League]] to host the event in the city of [[Ottawa]] and guarantee his team a berth in the tournament. The 67's did not disappoint, as every game of the series was sold out at the 10,550 seat Ottawa Civic Centre.

In the 1998–99 season, the 67's lost to the eventual OHL champion [[Belleville Bulls]] in the second round of the playoffs. However, the 67's beat those same Belleville Bulls in the Memorial Cup semi-finals and went on to defeat the [[Calgary Hitmen]] of the [[Western Hockey League|WHL]] in the final in a thrilling over-time game that saw [[Matt Zultek]] score the winning goal. [[Nick Boynton]] was named MVP.

The Ottawa 67's celebrate a playoff victory.

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

History

The Ontario Hockey Association granted the city of Ottawa an expansion franchise on February 16, 1967. Four months later, the team was given the nickname 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 Junior Canadiens and the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens in 1963.

Bill Long was the team's first head coach. The 67's played their first game on October 6, 1967, losing 9-0 on the road, to 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, with the team posting a final record of 6 wins, 45 losses and 3 ties. They then made the playoffs in their second season, but lost in the quarter-finals to the Niagara Falls Flyers.

The 67's reached the OHA finals during their fifth season in 1971–72, losing to the Peterborough Petes 3 games to 0, with 2 ties. The 67's came close to playing at home in the Memorial Cup, as the Ottawa Civic Centre hosted the tournament that year.

Brian Kilrea comes to Ottawa

After a rebuilding season in 1973–74, the 67's hired a young up-and-coming coach named Brian Kilrea, who has since become a legend in Ottawa. Kilrea coached the team to three successive improved winning records, culminating in a victory in the J. Ross Robertson Cup finals in 1977, versus the London Knights, who were coached by former 67's bench boss Bill Long. During the late 1970s, Ottawa was led by scoring champions Peter Lee, Bobby Smith and Jim Fox.

The 67's moved on to New Westminster, B.C., to compete for the Memorial Cup, versus the New Westminster Bruins and Sherbrooke Castors. The 1977 Memorial Tournament was the first to be held in British Columbia and the first to use a double round-robin format. Ottawa lost the first game 7-6 to the Bruins, then won three in a row, 6-1 over the Castors, 4-3 in overtime versus the Bruins, and then 5-2 against Sherbrooke. However, Ottawa lost to the host Bruins 6-5 in the championship game.

Ottawa finished first in their division the following season, but lost to the rival Peterborough Petes in the semi-finals. Kilrea and the 67's rebuilt during the 1978–79 season, following that season up with two second-place finishes and then three consecutive division titles from 1982 to 1984.

First Memorial Cup victory

In 1984, the 67's reached the OHL championship series in a rematch from the 1982 OHL finals, against the Kitchener Rangers. Kitchener had been chosen to host the Memorial Cup tournament that year, and the Rangers also made it to the OHL finals. This meant that Ottawa gained an automatic berth in the tournament when they reached the league championship against the Rangers. In the OHL itself, however, Ottawa had unfinished business, having lost to Kitchener two years earlier. The 67's, who finished second overall to Kitchener in the OHL, defeated the Rangers 3 games to 0, with 2 ties, winning the J. Ross Robertson Cup for the second time in franchise history.

At the Memorial Cup in Kitchener, Ottawa defeated the Laval Voisins, featuring Mario Lemieux, by a score 6-5 in their first game, then beat the Kamloops Jr. Oilers 5-1 in game two, before losing to Kitchener 7-2 to conclude the round-robin. In the semi-final game, Ottawa beat Kamloops again, this time in a 7-2 victory. In the finals versus Kitchener, Ottawa scored a victory in the third consecutive 7-2 game in the tournament, defeating the Rangers and winning their first Memorial Cup. The Most Valuable Player of the Tournament was Adam Creighton. After the season ended, Brian Kilrea left Ottawa to become an assistant coach in the NHL.

Kilrea returns from the NHL

The 67's suffered through two dismal seasons after winning the cup, finishing 3rd last in the OHL in 1985 and 2nd last in 1986. Ottawa's saviour would again be Brian Kilrea returning for the 1986–87 season. The second Kilrea era wasn't as superb as his first coaching stint. The 67's finished as high as second place in their division two times, and reached the league's playoff semi-finals three times. The highlight of this era was Andrew Cassels, the rookie of the year in 1986–87, and scoring champion in 1987–88. Kilrea went into retirement after the 1993–94 season. For the 1994–95 season, the 67's were coached by former scoring champion Peter Lee.

The third Kilrea era

Brian Kilrea came out of coaching retirement in 1995 and also became the team's general manager, both positions he has held since. Kilrea is currently under contract until his 78th birthday.

The Kilrea-coached 67's resurged to the top of the OHL, winning five consecutive east division titles from 1996 to 2000. The 1996–97 season of 104 points is the best in team history, and also the best in the league that year. Ottawa, however, lost in the finals 4 games to 2 to division rivals, the Oshawa Generals. The 67's reached the finals again in 1998, losing to the Guelph Storm in five games.

Memorial Cup hosts, 1999

In 1999, 67's owner Jeff Hunt led the team's bid to host the 1999 Memorial Cup tournament. Despite that fact that in 1997 the tournament had been hosted across the river in Hull, Quebec, he was able to convince the Canadian Hockey League to host the event in the city of Ottawa and guarantee his team a berth in the tournament. The 67's did not disappoint, as every game of the series was sold out at the 10,550 seat Ottawa Civic Centre.

In the 1998–99 season, the 67's lost to the eventual OHL champion Belleville Bulls in the second round of the playoffs. However, the 67's beat those same Belleville Bulls in the Memorial Cup semi-finals and went on to defeat the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL in the final in a thrilling over-time game that saw Matt Zultek score the winning goal. Nick Boynton was named MVP.

The 67's became the second team to win the Memorial Cup as tournament hosts without winning a league championship. The first team to do so were the Portland Winter Hawks in 1983.

Memorial Cup, 2001

It wasn't long before the 67's went to the Memorial Cup again. Ottawa defeated the Plymouth Whalers in the league championship. The 2001 Memorial Cup was played in Regina, Saskatchewan. Ottawa had tougher luck in this tournament, winning just one game in the round robin versus the hometown Regina Pats, then ultimately losing to Regina 1-0 in the tie-breaker game.

In the 2002–03 season, the 67's reached the OHL finals again, but fell to the eventual Memorial Cup champions Kitchener Rangers in five games. Ottawa also suffered a heart-breaking first round defeat in 2003–04 to the Brampton Battalion

Memorial Cup, 2005

Ottawa 67s v Sudbury Wolves Sep 30 2004

The 67's finished 6th place in the Eastern Conference in 2004–05, but had a veteran-laden team that managed an impressive playoff run.

Ottawa upset Barrie, Sudbury and Peterborough to reach the finals. The 67's qualified for the 2005 Memorial Cup by virtue of being the league finalists versus the London Knights, who were also hosting the event.

Ottawa won the longest ever game played in the Memorial Cup tournament, when they beat the Kelowna Rockets in double overtime. Ottawa finished third place in the round-robin, then lost to the Rimouski Océanic featuring Sidney Crosby in the semi-finals.

The Equipment Incident

During their last round robin game against the London Knights, the Ottawa 67's found themselves in an akward situation, as 67's trainer Brian Patafie was ordered out of the Knights dressing room by management, while he was trying to fix a skate for Brad Staubitz. The skate was never fixed during that game, and had to be repaired at a local sporting goods store. Patafie suggested that 67's owner Jeff Hunt buy a riviting machine and leave it in London for themselves, and commented on the Knights leaving them stranding without any access to equipment repairs at the John Labatt Centre and also pointed out that the other teams in the Ontario Hockey League wouldn't put them in the same position London did, regardless of the intensity of their rivals. Rimouski goaltender Cedric Desjardins was also denied access to the Knights dressing room to make repairs to his goalie equipment.

The Ottawa 67's have appeared in the Memorial Cup tournament five times, winning twice. Ottawa has also won the J. Ross Robertson Cup three times, won the Hamilton Spectator Trophy three times, and have won twelve division titles.

Uniforms and logos

Ottawa67s

The 67's colours and original uniforms are based on those of the Ottawa Senators from the 1920s and 1930s. The team colours are red, white & black. The original 67's uniforms are barber-pole style jerseys with the square 67's logo. The 67's have also used a white back ground jersey with barber-pole stripes on the shoulders and sleeves.

The 67's third jersey was unveiled in 2001. It features a logo with an angry puck, and a white background body with red and black jagged trim along the bottom and arms. It also has an opposite black background style with white & red trim.

Mascots: Riley Raccoon, Riley Jr., The Killer Puck

Arenas

The Ottawa 67's played the first half of their 1967–68 inaugural season at the Robert Guertin Arena in Hull, Quebec until completion of the new arena at Landsdowne Park.

Ottawa Civic Centre
The Ottawa 67's have played at the Ottawa Civic Centre since January 1968. It has served annually as a home arena in the OHA/OHL for the last 38 years, ranking fourth in the OHL behind arenas in Kitchener, Peterborough and Oshawa.

Capacity = 9,862
Ice Size = 200' x 85'

The Civic Centre has had the largest capacity of all current OHL arenas since 1991. Previously, the Toronto Marlboros played out of Maple Leaf Gardens and the Dukes of Hamilton and the Hamilton Steelhawks played out of Copps Coliseum.

The design of the Civic Centre is unique in that it is built into the side of a football stadium, and includes a large conference hall under its north stands. The seating in the Civic Centre is almost all on the north side and ends of the arena, with very few seats on the south side towards the football stadium.

The Civic Centre has played host to many OHL and CHL events including:

The Memorial Cup in 1972 and 1999.
The Chrysler Challenge Cup in 1986 and 1987.
The Hershey Cup in 2002.

The Civic Centre has also been home to the NHL's Ottawa Senators and the WHA's Ottawa Nationals & Ottawa Civics.

Canadian Tire Centre
The Ottawa 67's also play the occasional home game at the Canadian Tire Centre. Twice the 67's played host to an interleague game versus the Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL. On December 30, 2004 the arena hosted the largest crowd ever witnessed in the Ontario Hockey League as 20,081 people saw the Ottawa 67's defeated by the Kingston Frontenacs. This came as a result of the arena seating capacity being expanded by 2,000 seats.

In early February 2012, it was announced that the 67's would move to the Canadian Tire Centre for two seasons while renovations were finished at TD Place Arena. This came as a result of delays in construction originally planned to allow the 67's to stay at TD Place through the rebuild but now a closed site is needed to meet deadlines for NASL and CFL expansion.
