TRADITION, TALENT, SUCCESS
The Hamilton Hurricanes are a proud football organization with a rich history of tradition, talent, and championship success. The team has been a part of the Hamilton football scene since its inaugural year in 1963 and has proven to the rest of the Ontario Football Conference that nothing will deter them from achieving their goals.
The Hurricanes' most recent success came in 2010 and 2011 with back-to-back OFC Championships as well as advancing to five straight OFC Championship games from 2010 - 2014.
The 2016 Hamilton Hurricanes squad defended home turf against the Windsor AKO Fratmen with a 52-21 victory to bring the Teddy Morris Memorial Trophy back home to Hamilton.
