The Colts joined the OHL in 1995, and previously competed at lower levels of junior ice hockey.

Templeton built the inaugural team of the Barrie Colts, who became the first OHL expansion franchise to make the playoffs in its first season.

Barrie also briefly used a third jersey which was a red background, with white, navy blue & gold trim.

It has a navy blue blackground with white, red and gold trim along the bottom, with the word "Colts" diagonally across the front.

The Barrie Molson Centre is located near the southern entrance of Park Place, close to Highway 400.
