The club was organized on December 23, 1908. Led by Alf Smith, the club featured Bouse Hutton in goal, Rat Westwick at rover, and Arthur Moore on defense, all former Silver Seven players.
The team played against three other Ontario-based teams: Cornwall, Renfrew Creamery Kings, Smiths Falls. The team compiled a 3–3 record to place second to Renfrew. While the team drew crowds in the thousands for their first matches against Edmonton Hockey Club and Renfrew, attendance declined to the point where only a few hundred attended the final game against Cornwall.
