From 1988 until 2016, the team was known as the Alvinston Flyers, which played in the Great Lakes Jr C Hockey League.
The Flyers were founded in 1988 as members of the Western Junior D Hockey League.
In 1992-93, the Flyers finally showed some promise in the (then) OHA Junior Development League with a record of 22-15-1-0.
After six seasons with the WJDHL/OHAJDL, the Flyers were promoted to the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League.
In February 2016, Flyers management submitted a proposal to relocate the team to Petrolia starting the next season.
