The Renfrew Timberwolves are a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Renfrew, Ontario. They played in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) until the league was rebranded as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2) in 2015.
History
[edit]The franchise was founded in 1967 as the Renfrew Lions, sponsored by the Renfrew Lions Club, and won its first Eastern Ontario Championship that same year.
The team was renamed the Timberwolves in the early 1970s and subsequently won four additional Eastern Ontario titles in 1977, 1988, 1990, and 1993.[citation needed] The team has also won eight Valley Division titles and four Boxing Day Tournament titles. Several individual players from the program have advanced to university, semi-professional, or professional hockey teams.
The Timberwolves are one of 13 franchises in the EOJHL and compete in the Richardson Division (formerly the Valley Division).
On October 27, 2017, four young Timberwolves players were involved in a fatal, alcohol-related motor vehicle accident.[1] The team honored the players that season by hanging their numbers from the arena rafters and stenciling number patches under the ice. The Timberwolves qualified for the playoffs later that season, winning their opening series before being eliminated in the following round.
Following a brief, unsuccessful relocation to Eganville as the Valley Timberwolves, the franchise returned to Renfrew under new ownership and staff, moving into a new ice rink.
During the 2024–2025 season, the team won its first Richardson Division title and set a regular-season franchise record for wins, finishing with a 30–15–2–1 record. They were later eliminated in the division semifinals.
