The club changed their name a few times - they were known as the Toronto Olympians from 1998 through 2001 and then the Mississauga Olympians in 2002 and 2003.
The team won three consecutive regular season championships from 1998 to 2000, and took the Rogers Cup once in 2000. They also finished as regular season runners-up in 2001, and were two-time Rogers Cup finalist in 1998 and 1999.
Despite the early success, however, the team's performance went downhill from 2002 onwards, and the franchise eventually folded after the 2005 season.
