History

The Orillia Terriers are the first junior hockey club in Orillia since the Orillia Terriers of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League moved to Rama, Ontario in 1997.^[1]

On September 13, 2013, the Terriers travelled to Penetanguishene, Ontario to play their first-ever league game. The Penetang Kings won the game 4-0, when Gordie Weiss played his first game in net.^[2] The next night, the Terriers hosted the Huntsville Otters in their first home game. At 12:38 of the first period Josh Allan scored the first goal in team history. Marty Lawlor scored a hat-trick (including the game winner) and Weiss played the entire game in net to clinch the franchise's first ever victory.^[3]

The Terriers finished their first season in seventh place out of ten teams with a record of 17 wins, 19 losses, and 4 regulation ties.

On February 1, 2014, the Terriers played their first playoff game, losing 3-2 in overtime to the Midland Flyers.^[4] Weiss played the entire game and Daniel Lee scored the first playoff marker in team history.^[5]
