Perspective
In the summer of 2010, the Panthers accepted a merger with the Ajax Attack.
2007 Marathon Game
On February 10, 2007 after 154 minutes and 32 seconds of play, the Toronto Jr. Canadiens defeated the Pickering Panthers in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs. The game-winning goal was credited to Kyle Wetering at the 4:32 mark of the 6th overtime, after the teams played 60 minutes of regulation, 10 minutes in the first overtime period, and then 20 minute overtime periods thereafter. Toronto outshot Pickering 88–86. On February 12, 2007, TSN show That's Hockey showed highlights of the game and announced that it may be honoured in the Hockey Hall of Fame as the longest junior hockey game in history, far surpassing the last recorded record.[citation needed] A feature column also appeared in the Toronto Sun about the historical game.[1] The game has been officially named the longest game in Ontario Hockey Association history.[2][3]
First OJHL Championship
The 2021–22 season marked the most successful season for the Panthers. They finished first in the North Division and was the top team in the Northwest Conference and second in overall in the league. Their success continued into the playoffs claiming the OJHL Championship over Toronto and making it to the Centennial Cup finals, where they would be defeated by the Brooks Bandits.
