St. Clair Saints men's ice hockey

Shortly after the founding of the Western Ontario Institute of Technology (WOIT) in 1958, the college began sponsoring ice hockey as a varsity sport.

In 1962, Western Ontario Tech left to join the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association as that conference was seeking to promote itself to the senior level of Canadian college hockey.

Two years later, the OIAA was invited to participate in the University Cup for the first time.

Part of the plan included amalgamating small, existing schools into larger institutions and WOIT was one of the colleges selected for that task.
