Sports season
The 2013–14 OHL season was the 34th season of the Ontario Hockey League . The Brampton Battalion relocated to North Bay and became the North Bay Battalion , playing at the North Bay Memorial Gardens . The first two outdoor games in OHL history were held this season, when the Saginaw Spirit , Windsor Spitfires , Plymouth Whalers , and London Knights played at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan as part of the Hockeytown Winter Festival on December 29.[1] On March 11, 2014 Terry Trafford of the Saginaw Spirit , who had been missing for eight days, was found dead in his vehicle at a Wal-Mart in Saginaw, Michigan . His death was ruled a suicide as a result of self-inflicted asphyxiation.[2] Twenty teams played 68 games each according to the regular season schedule, from September 19, 2013 to March 17, 2014. The Guelph Storm won the J. Ross Robertson Cup for the third time in franchise history, and the first time since 2004, as they defeated the North Bay Battalion in five games, and represented the OHL at the 2014 Memorial Cup held at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario . The London Knights also qualified for the tournament as the host team.
