History

Hamilton Tech began sponsoring ice hockey as a varsity sport in 1960 when they helped found the Ontario Training College Conference. [2] Two years later, Hamilton Tech and Western Ontario Tech left to join the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association as that conference was seeking to promote itself to the senior level of Canadian college hockey. It took two years for the OIAA to gain the recognition it was seeking and Hamilton played its first season of tier-1 hockey in 1964–65. Unfortunately for the team, that was the same year that Bill Davis, as Ministry of Education, submitted Bill 153 to establish twenty new colleges throughout Ontario.

Hamilton Tech continued on while the changes were being finalized and its team remained an official member of the OIAA. However, they only played exhibition games afterwards. [3] In 1967, the college was closed and its remnants were used to establish Mohawk College. The newly rechristened Mohawk Mountaineers left the OIAA and returned to the Intermediate level. The program joined the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association, an expansive conference of many small colleges from Southern Ontario. In their first full season of conference play, 1968–69, the program produced its first winning season. [4] After two relatively poor seasons, Mohawk returned to the postseason, losing in the quarterfinals. References to the varsity team cease after 1973 and the team has not resurfaced (as of 2024).
