GMHL Expansion: Fergus Awarded Franchise

The Greater Metro Junior 'A' Hockey League is very proud to confirm that the first expansion team has been accepted for the 2017-18 season. The Fergus Force will join the GMHL and call the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex home

The Force will be the only team in the Fergus/Elora area and will also be the closest team to Guelph hopefully drawing fans from the large hockey community. It is likely the Force will play against the Southern division teams with St. George being the closest franchise. The Force are expected to play the majority of their home games on Sunday afternoons.

The Force will be headed by Marshall Uretsky, former owner of the Toronto Canada Moose and most recently the assistant coach of the Bradford Bulls.

GMHL President Bob Russell expects the franchise do very well in the market and is excited for Uretsky, who will have the support of the league as he hopes to build a successful franchise in Fergus

The Force website can be found here and they are currently hosting a contest to design their logo. 

Welcome to the League Fergus, may the Force be with you.
