Fergus Devils The Fergus Devils are a Canadian Junior ice hockey team based in Fergus , Ontario , Canada . They play in the Georgian Mid - Ontario Junior C Hockey League . History . The Fergus Green Machine were founded in 1971 in the South - Central Junior D Hockey League . In 1973 , the league was promoted to the Central Ontario Junior C Hockey League . In 1974 , the team seemed to have dropped off the map , but it turns out they had probably dropped to the fairly local Northern Junior D Hockey League . In 1979 - 80 , while in the Northern , the Green Machine picked up a 16 - year - old Scottish defenseman named James Stephen Smith . Smith led the team to a league championship , and all the way to the Ontario Hockey Association Cup final against the Belmont Bombers of the " Western Ontario Junior D Hockey League " . The Bombers knocked off the Machine 2 - games - to - none in a best - of - 3 series to win the All - Ontario championship . Smith went on to play three seasons of Ontario Hockey League hockey with the London Knights before eventually winning three Stanley Cup s with the National Hockey League ' s Edmonton Oilers . In 1983 , the Green Machine returned to their old Junior " C " loop , now known as the Mid - Ontario Junior C Hockey League . The Northern Junior D Hockey League folded two seasons later without the Fergus franchise . In 1987 the Green Machine folded . In 1990 , the town of Fergus resurrected the team as the Fergus Devils . Still in the Mid - Ontario Junior C Hockey League , the Devils played two seasons of interlock with the Western Junior C Hockey League . Two years later , the Mid - Ontario merged with the Georgian Bay Junior C Hockey League to form the Georgian Mid - Ontario Junior C Hockey League . It is unknown if the Devils won any Mid - Ontario championships . The Devils found their niche in the new league and won the league title in 1995 , 1996 , 1999 , 2000 , and 2001 . The Devils have never reached the Clarence Schmalz Cup finals . The 2005 - 06 season saw the Devils finish in second play in the Georgian Mid - Ontario . In the league quarter - final , the Devils laid out the seventh - seeded Bradford Bulls 4 games to none . With a head of steam , the Devils played the fourth seeded Erin Shamrocks in the semi - final . The result was a 4 - games - to - 1 series win for the Devils . In the finals , the Devils locked horns with the first seed Penetang Kings . The Devils were no match for the Kings as Penetang swept the series 4 - games - to - none to win the league championship . The Kings went on to win the Clarence Schmalz Cup . In 2006 - 07 , a late season surge saw the Fergus Devils surpass the Alliston Hornets and Penetang Kings to gain the top seed in the league . As the Bradford Bulls had left the league to try their chances on an Independent Junior A league , the Devils received a bye in the league quarter - finals . The well rested Devils took on the fifth seeded Stayner Siskins in the league semi - final and beat them 4 - games - to - 1 . Again in the finals , the Devils again faced the Penetang Kings . The Kings went up 2 - games - to - none on the Devils with a pair of double overtime victories . The Devils came back ane won game 3 and 4 just to lose game 5 and 6 . For the second straight year the Penetang Kings beat the Devils for the league title and again went on to win the Clarence Schmalz Cup . Season - by - Season Standings .
