This was done as the team was going to be splitting their home games between Belmont and Port Stanley.

During the 07-08 season, the Express played all their home games in Port Stanley, which was formerly home to the Port Stanley Lakers, which became the West Lorne Lakers before leaving the OHA.

During the summer of 2008, it was announced that The Central Elgin Express had been sold by Peter North and Bill Walters to a group of four equal owners led by St. Thomas resident Dale J. Howard.

The other three owners are Harold Lang, Matt Stolk and Mike Carson.

[1] The Express were affiliated with the St Thomas Stars of the Jr B Greater Ontario Hockey League from the 07-08 to the 09-10 seasons.
