The team has played in the Canadian Women's Hockey League since its inaugural 2007-08 season. The team adopted the name "Furies" after the 2011 Clarkson Cup. The decision behind naming the franchise Furies was featured on an episode of History Television's program What's In a Name?

The five names that fans suggested included: the Toronto Force, Toronto Tornadoes, Toronto Snipes, Toronto Furies and the Toronto Vamps.
