In 1961, St. Michaels Majors, the Junior A team of St Michaels College, announced that it was folding. The school felt that its students could no longer play the strenous season and do well on their studies. The Toronto Maple Leafs. their parent team, still wanted the Majors to play. The team was a big draw for parents of young hockey players who wanted their sons to get a high school education as well as good hockey training for a career. The Majors won the league title in 1961-62 but the school left after the season. They were replaced by the Neil McNeil Maroons from another high school.
