Pickering Panthers: A tradition since 1972
The Pickering Panthers are a Junior 'A' ice hockey team based in Pickering, Ontario.
The Panther Tradition started in 1972 as part of the Metro Junior 'B' league, making the team has been an active Junior hockey team for the
last forty years.
Today, the Panthers are a part of the Ontario Junior Hockey League
In the summer of 2010, the Panthers accepted a merger with the Ajax Attack,
eliminating the struggle for players and fans between the two neighbouring communities.
The team remains based in Pickering.
Our last championship win was in 1985 when the Panthers were a member of the Metro Junior ‘B’ league. Pickering joined the Ontario Junior ‘A’ hockey league in 1998, and have had three conference championship performances since then (98-99, 05-06, and 06-07 seasons).
Some key players who have suited up for Pickering include NHL hall of famer Joe Nieuwendyk, and ex-Toronto Maple Leaf goalie Glenn Healy.
