The Orillia Terriers are a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Orillia, Ontario, Canada. They played in the Georgian Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League until 2016 when the league merged into the Provincial Junior Hockey League.
History
The Orillia Terriers are the first junior hockey club in Orillia since the Orillia Terriers of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League moved to Rama, Ontario in 1997.[1]
On September 13, 2013, the Terriers travelled to Penetanguishene, Ontario to play their first ever league game. The Penetang Kings would win the game 4-0. Gordie Weiss would get to play this first ever game in net.[2] The next night, the Terriers hosted the Huntsville Otters in their first ever home game. At 12:38 of the first period Josh Allan would score the first goal in team history. Marty Lawlor would score a hat-trick (including the game winner) and Weiss would play the entire game in net to clinch the franchise's first ever victory.[3]
The Terriers would finish their first ever season in seventh place out of ten teams with a record of 17 wins, 19 losses, and 4 regulation ties.
On February 1, 2014, the Terriers would play their first ever playoff game, losing 3-2 in overtime to the Midland Flyers.[4] Weiss played the entire game and Daniel Lee scored the first playoff marker in team history.[5]
