In late summer of 1973, it appeared the Collingwood Juvenile team was finished due to the limited number of players available to play. CMHA Director Cathy Mulholland contacted Dave Chandler to convince him a Juvenile team was a worthwhile venture. Following the recruitment of Coach Fern St. Onge & Manager John Freudeman, tryouts began for players from Collingwood & surrounding communities. After a rather uneventful season, the OMHA playoffs started. Following a 5 game series with Base Borden marked by police escorts, Collingwood began their magical ride defeating Huntsville (3-0), Markham (3-1), Streetsville (3-0) taking home the OMHA Juvenile Championship defeating London Stoneybrook (4-2).

During the spring of 1974, the team that almost never happened was the last team standing in Collingwood. Throughout the playoffs, home games were packed to the rafters. The town was buzzing with public demand resulting in the final Game 6 being broadcast on CKCB radio by the legendary Scotty Carmichael (Founder – Sports Hall of Fame) and John Nichols.

On Saturday, October 27, 2018, the Collingwood Sports Hall of Fame welcomes the 1973-74 Collingwood Juvenile Hockey team as an honoured team.
