Previous to the 2005-06 season, did you know that the last time Grand Valley won an OMHA championship was in 1998. Our Novice Additional Entry team defeated Frankford to win the series in the first year playdowns were held for this grouping. Previous to that our 1989-90 & 1982-83 PeeWee teams were finalists. In the 2004-05 season our Bantams and Novices were finalists. Finally after a 26 year drought our Bantams were once again crowned OMHA Champtions defeating Belmont in the finals, 3 games straight in 2005-06. Now we are on roll, with two Championship teams in 2006-07...PeeWees defeating Deseronto, and Bantams defeating Norwich. The 2007-08 season saw our Bantams rematch against Sunderland for the second time in championship history and again Grand Valley hung on in a tough 5 game series to take the Bantam D title for the third season in a row! 0708 was an extra special season as for the first time in 26 years our Midgets participated in an OMHA Championship and defeated Thamesford 3 games straight to take the title.
