We are a not-for-profit community organization operating in the City of Woodstock, with roots stemming back to 1966. This being our 50th anniversary of the club and as a community focused team, our future depends on the support of our sponsors, fans and volunteers and for that reason, I am contacting you. Please let us know that we can count on your support this year. Set out in this package are many sponsorship and advertising options available to you. I will follow up with you over the next few weeks to discuss further but please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you have. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to speaking with you about our new organization.

Dudley Trophy Super "C" Appearances This trophy was awarded during the 1970s to a new class of junior hockey known as Super "C". The teams that competed were deemed to be from centres too small for Junior "B" but yet too big for Junior "C". The cities that competed for it: Barrie (MOJBHL), Woodstock (ICJCHL & CJCHL), Kitchener (CJBHL & WOJHL), Owen Sound (CJCHL), and Brantford (CJCHL); struggled throughout that decade to find Junior "B" leagues that suited their needs. While waiting, these teams generally played "down" in the Junior "C" level and awaited the Super "C" playoffs. The class was disbanded by 1976 as the only teams eligible for the championship had found homes in Junior "B". 1970: Barrie Colts defeated Woodstock Navy-Vets 4-games-to-3 ................
