Official Statement

We are writing to formally announce that the Orangeville Blitz will be resigning from participation in the playoffs and the Ontario Super Hockey League (OSHL), effective immediately.

Since taking over the team in late 2023, this journey has been filled with both triumphs and challenges that have shaped our organization. Our transition from the Western Ontario Senior Hockey League (WOSHL) to the Central Ontario Senior Hockey League (COSHL) was a pivotal step, bringing new opportunities for growth and development. Through hard work and dedication, we transformed this team from a last-place finish in 2023-24 to winning the inaugural COSHL League Championship this year—an achievement we are incredibly proud of.

However, after careful evaluation of the league’s direction and our own future goals, we have determined that it is in the best interest of the Orangeville Blitz to respectfully step away from the OSHL.

While this marks the end of one chapter, it also signals the beginning of an exciting new era. We are thrilled to share that, starting with the 2025-26 season, we will be making changes that will position our team for continued success in a new league.

To our players, staff, and loyal fans—thank you. Your unwavering support has been invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for the memories we’ve built together. This decision was not made lightly, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to both our organization and the sport we love.

We look forward to remaining an active part of the community and can’t wait to share more about what’s next for the Orangeville Blitz. Stay tuned—exciting things are ahead!
