Relocation and Rebranding [ edit ]
Cornwall Royals to Newmarket Royals [ edit ]
The Cornwall Royals relocated to the city of Newmarket, Ontario and were named the Newmarket Royals . The team would play at the Newmarket Recreational Complex .
The club was established in 1969 in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League , as Cornwall won the Memorial Cup three times, in 1972 , 1980 and 1981 . Prior to the 1981-82 , the Royals transferred to the Ontario Hockey League . After joining the OHL, the club was made the post-season in ten of their eleven seasons.
Newmarket would remain in the Leyden Division following the relocation.
Detroit Compuware Ambassadors to Detroit Junior Red Wings [ edit ]
The Detroit Compuware Ambassadors rebranded their team into the Detroit Junior Red Wings . The Junior Red Wings would continue to share Joe Louis Arena with the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League .
The club would use the familiar Red Wings logo and change their colours to red and white to match the NHL team.
