Blenheim Blades

The Blenheim Blades are a Junior "C" team based out of Blenheim, Ontario. They play out of the Provincial Junior Hockey League.
==History==
The Blenheim Golden Blades were founded in 1965, but could not find a league to play in locally until 1967. Until 1967, the Blades played an exhibition season against teams from Michigan in an American Junior B league until the OHA playoffs began.
In 1968, the Golden Blades joined the Border Cities Junior "B" Hockey League. In 1971, the league was demoted and renamed the Great Lakes Junior "C" Hockey League. In 1974, the team simplified their name to the "Blades".
Being from a smaller community than a lot of centres in the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League, the Blades have often struggled, but in recent years have become a winning team that is tough to compete with.
