Original Redmen[edit]

The history section mentions that the Newmarket Redmen dated back to the 1950s, but in fact the Redmen won the 1933 Memorial Cup. PK T(alk) 02:07, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same name, different team... which is very common in jr. hockey. The Redmen in question relocated to Copper Cliff around 1936 and operated until at least 1942 as a NOHA Jr. B team. The Jr. C Redmen make at least 2 appearances after the '33 Redmen... there was a Redmen Jr. C team in the 1940s... and one that bounced between B and C from at least 1955 until 1975. This is a common trend, especially with Junior A teams (what we call Major Jr. now), a good example is the number of teams that have been known as the Niagara Falls Flyers. Different teams, same name... DMighton (talk) 02:36, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is more info:

In the book, The Memorial Cup Canada's National Junior Hockey Championship, authors Richard M. Lapp and Alec Macaulay mention on page 55, that the Newmarket Redmen became the Copper Cliff Redmen. Do you have other information? Flibirigit 23:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
