About the Flyers...
Originally a member of the Border Cities Junior "B" league, the current Leamington Flyers were founded in 1958. Originally the Flyers were a part of the BCJBHL from 1958 until 1964. They entered the new Border Cities league in 1968. When the league became the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League 1970, the Flyers stayed on board. The Flyers were promoted to the Western Junior B league in 1992 and are still a charter member.
In early 2010 the Flyers were purchased by an ownership group consisting of Leamington businessmen Abe Fehr, Jake Fehr and Gary Langeman. Shortly after taking control of the team, the ownership group announced that they had hired Tony Piroski as head coach. Piroski previously coached the Essex 73's for nine seasons winning seven Great Lakes Junior C titles and three OHA championships.
