Perspective
The EOSHL became a sanctioned Senior "A" league in 2003. In 2005, the league was promoted to Senior "AAA" to compete against the Major League Hockey (MLH) league and have a chance to win the Allan Cup. In 2006, the league dropped from six to four teams.[citation needed]
During the 2007-08 season, a new team known as the Cooks Bay Canucks joined the league. What ensued with this franchise his quite original, as the team, although successful on the ice, underwent two name changes in the same season. The team started the season as the Cooks Bay Canucks, but soon dropped it for the Simcoe County Canucks. Although that does not sound too strange, the Canucks made the playoffs and before game two of the league semi-final announced another name change to the Simcoe County Tundras, with new logos, and completely different jerseys and team colours.[citation needed]
The Eastern Ontario Senior Hockey League merged with Major League Hockey in 2008, when AAA-level senior hockey in the OHA shrunk to only five teams.[1]
The league incorporated as the Eastern Ontario Super Hockey League (EOSHL) ahead of the 2019–20 season with 4 teams: Cornwall Senior Prowlers, West Carleton Rivermen, Maxville Millionaires and Deseronto Bulldogs.[2][3]
