Relocation/Team Name Change[ edit ] Guelph Platers to Owen Sound Platers [ edit ] The Guelph Platers relocated to the city of Owen Sound during the off-season as the ownership group, the Holody family, could not get a new arena built.
The club kept the Platers named and would be known as the Owen Sound Platers . The team would play out of the Bayshore Community Centre . During their years in Guelph from 1982 to 1989, the Platers won the Memorial Cup in 1986 . Owen Sound would continue to play out of the Emms Division.
Toronto Marlboros to Hamilton Dukes [ edit ] The Toronto Marlboros relocated to the city of Hamilton and were renamed as the Dukes of Hamilton . The Marlboros had a long history in Toronto, playing from 1904 to 1989. The Marlboros won the Memorial Cup seven times, the most recent being in 1975 .
The Dukes would play out of Copps Coliseum and remain in the Leyden Division.
Kingston Raiders to Kingston Frontenacs [ edit ] The Kingston Raiders were rebranded as the Kingston Frontenacs as the club was sold a new ownership group, including Wren Blair , Don Anderson , and Bob Attersley , keeping the team in Kingston.
The club previously played as the Kingston Canadians from 1973 to 1988 before being renamed as the Raiders for the 1988-89 season. Kingston changed their colour scheme from black, silver and white to yellow, black and white.
Windsor Compuware Spitfires to Windsor Spitfires [ edit ] The Windsor Compuware Spitfires were sold by Peter Karmanos to local construction magnate Steve Riolo during the off-season, and reverted to their original team name, the Windsor Spitfires .
The Spitfires introduced a new logo and colour scheme.
