The Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters were a brief note in junior hockey history, but left an impression on the game during 13 years of operation.
The team that was sponsored by a local manufacturer in the Royal City would capture a national championship, several provincial titles, and send four men on to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Mad Hatters won the first game on home ice at the Guelph Memorial Gardens by a score of 8 to 2.
The Biltmores completed the series sweep in game four posting a 10 to 2 triumph to win the Memorial Cup.
Four alumni of the Mad Hatters have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame: Andy Bathgate, Rod Gilbert, Harry Howell and Jean Ratelle.
