The '''Niagara IceDogs''' are a [[Canadian Hockey League|major]] [[junior ice hockey]] team in the [[Ontario Hockey League]] based in [[St. Catharines, Ontario|St. Catharines]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. The franchise was originally known as the [[Mississauga IceDogs]] and founded in 1996. The team was relocated to St. Catharines and will play its inaugural season in the [[Regional Municipality of Niagara, Ontario|Niagara region]] during the [[2007-08 OHL season]] after spending 9 seasons in Mississauga.

==History==
On July 12, 2006, [[Eugene Melnyk]], who owned the [[Toronto St. Michael's Majors]], bought the [[Mississauga IceDogs]]. After the 2006-07 season, Melnyk sold the IceDogs, and moved the Majors to the [[Hershey Centre]] in Mississauga. [http://www.stmichaelsmajors.com/news/?id=1107]. The team approached the City of [[St. Catharines, Ontario|St. Catharines]] about moving the team into [[Jack Gatecliff Arena]]. [[St. Catharines City Council]] voted on a leasing arrangement on April 23, 2007, which passed. The OHL Board of Governors approved the deal on June 5, 2007. [http://www.stmichaelsmajors.com/hm/inside.php?id=196][http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/webapp/sitepages/content.asp?contentid=499733&catname=Local+News&classif=]

The Niagara IceDogs played their first regular season home game against the [[Mississauga St. Michael's Majors]] in front of a sellout crowd on September 21, 2007. The IceDogs won the game, defeating the Majors 4-1.

==Coaches==
Mario Cicchillo was promoted from assistant coach in [[2006-07 OHL season|2006-07]] for Mississauga, to become the first coach of the Niagara IceDogs after it was announced that head coach Mike Kelly resigned to accept a senior advisory position with the team.

The original arena was used by the [[St. Catharines Teepees]] and [[St. Catharines Black Hawks]]. Renovated in 1996, it was named after local sportswriter Jack Gatecliff. The Jack Gatecliff Arena name has now been applied to the pad that the IceDogs play on, while the name of the facility itself was changed on September 19, 2007.[http://www.niagaraicedogs.net/index.php?module=newser&func=display&nid=62]
