History
The Hahns started out in the Interbrew Junior "C" Hockey League[5], and later joined the Central Junior C Hockey League[6]. They made the jump up to the Midwestern Junior B Hockey League in 1977 and stayed there until 1982[7] when they returned to Junior "C" in the NJCHL.
While in the Central Jr. C league (now known as the Western Jr. C league), the Hahns won two Clarence Schmalz Cups as All-Ontario champions - 1963 and 1967[8].
