Ayr Centennials

Clarence Eby, whose son and grandson would become heavily involved with the team, was a founding member of the club in 1982.

Don's legacy with the team began when son Scott started playing for the team at the age of 15, but Don's wife Julie waited a few years before joining her husband, taking over for her father-in-law Clarence as treasurer.

Finishing 4th overall in the SOJHL, the Centennials were the McConnell Conference Champions and advanced to the OHA Cup versus Thamesford, eventually losing in 4 games.

In 2011-12 the Centennials finished 4th in the McConnell Conference and 7th overall in the SOJHL, and lost to the eventual OHA Cup Finalists, The Hagersville Hawks, in 5 games of the second round of playoffs.

In the Spring of 2013, the Centennials were moved over to the Niagara & District Junior C Hockey League in a major realignment.

Just three seasons removed from their jump to Junior C, the team won their first Schmalz Cup in 2016 by sweeping the Empire B Junior C Hockey League champion Port Hope Panthers in four games on the shoulders of starting goalie, Mitch Figueiredo.

The team's home at the North Dumfries Community Complex sits on what used to be 30 acres of their farmland.

The Midwestern League were placed in the Central Conference and re-branded the Pat Doherty division.
