Original Hornets
The Hornets name was resurrected again in 1962. That team was founded in 1960 as the Galt Terriers, playing in the original OHA Senior A hockey league. The Terriers won the Allan Cup championship in 1961, concluding their first season. As the reigning Allan Cup champions, the Terriers represented Canada at the 1962 Ice Hockey World Championships finishing 2nd place, winning the silver medal. Notable players from that era include, Dave Dryden, Tod Sloan, Darryl Sly and Bill Wylie.
The "Terriers" named itself had been used by teams in Galt dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, before World War II. Notable players included Larry Aurie, Clarence Boucher, John Brackenborough, Art Gauthier, Norman Himes, Carl Liscombe, Cliff McBride, Mickey Murray and Jean Pusie.
Following the 1961–62 season, the Galt Terriers were renamed the Galt Hornets. The Hornets won two more Allan Cup titles in 1969 and 1971. In 1973, the team name changed to the Cambridge Hornets, when the City of Galt was almagated into Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the word original:
“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
