History
The Blenheim Golden Blades were founded in 1965, but could not find a league to play in locally until 1967. Until 1967, the Blades played an exhibition season against teams from Michigan in an American Junior B league until the OHA playoffs began.
In 1968, the Golden Blades joined the Border Cities Junior "B" Hockey League. In 1971, the league was demoted and renamed the Great Lakes Junior "C" Hockey League. In 1974, the team simplified their name to the "Blades".
The Blades have won a league title in their franchise history, the 1970 Border Cities Jr. D championship.
Being from a smaller community than a lot of centres in the Bill Stobbs Division, the Blades have often struggled, but in recent years have become a winning team that is tough to compete with.
The playoffs for the 2019-20 season were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the team not being able to play a single game.
