Barrie Flyers (1966-1979)

The Barrie Flyers were an ice hockey team from Barrie, Ontario that competed in the OHA Senior A Hockey League from 1966 to 1979 and in the Major Intermediate A Hockey League from 1979 to 1983.
They are not to be confused with a junior club of the same name which played in the Ontario Hockey Association from 1945 to 1960.

They moved to the Major Intermediate A Hockey League in 1979 and played there until the league folded in 1983. Barrie returned to Senior A in 1983 as the "Broncos."
