History
In April 2008, it was announced that Oro-Medonte had received its first junior hockey club since 1992. In May it was announced that the club would be known as the Oro-Medonte 77's. The name pays homage to Oro's long hockey history, and the team's predecessor the Oro 77's who participated in the Georgian Bay Junior C Hockey League from 1977 until 1992. [1]
On September 15, 2008, the Oro-Medonte 77's played their first ever GMHL game, on the road, in Richmond Hill against the Ontario Lightning Rams. Oro emerged victorious, winning 8-6.
After three seasons in the GMHL, in the Summer of 2011, the 77's ceased operation.
