History
The Renfrew Jr. B Timberwolves came into existence in 1968 as the Renfrew Lions, sponsored by The Renfrew Lions Club and captured their first Eastern Ontario Championship that year.
In the early 70's, Renfrew's Junior team became the Timberwolves and the team has since captured 4 other Eastern Ontario Titles; 1977, 1988, 1990 and 1993.
Banners on the wall at Ma-Te-Way Arena also include 8 Valley Division Titles and 4 Boxing Day Tournament Titles which all attest to the success that the team has enjoyed over the years. Not only has the team been successful as a community group, but many individual players have gone on to University, Semi-pro, or Professional Teams.
The franchise is one of 22 teams in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, and is one of six teams in the Valley Division. The league is divided into two Conferences and Four Divisions; The Metro-Valley and the Rideau-St. Lawrence. Up until the 2009-2010 all six teams in the Valley Division advance to the Playoffs, now only the top 4 teams continue beyond the regular season and the quality of hockey has continued to improve and player development remains an important part of Jr. B Hockey. The league introduced a showcase weekend known as the Fall Classic which has replaced the Boxing Day Tournament.
