History

The Trenton Golden Hawks were founded in 1968 as members of the Eastern Junior B Hockey League. They filled the gap left when the Trenton Flyers and the Trenton Apple Kings were in the league in the early 1960s.

In the 1980s, the Golden Hawks played in the Central Junior C Hockey League. For a short time, Trenton was also home to the Trenton Bobcats, relocated from and eventually back to Belleville, Ontario.

In 1989, the team moved over to the Eastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League that season, inwhich they stayed until 1995. In 1995, the ownership of the team was granted the rights to a Junior "A" team.

To fill the void in the Junior "C" loop, the Sting created a farm team known as the Brighton Buzz. After two seasons, the Buzz became the Colborne Blackhawks. Two seasons later, the team folded.

, the franchise was renamed the Trenton Hercs. [http://www.hercshockey.com/]
