The Welland franchise, under any of its various names, was formed in 1975 as part of the
Niagara District Junior B Hockey League, and joined the Golden Horseshoe "B" in 1979. For the 1975-76 season, the Cougars (known as the Farr-Learn Bs for their first year) co-existed with the
Welland Sabres of the
Southern Ontario Junior A Hockey League. They went on to use the monikers of Aerostars - Flames - back to Cougars and in 2004 to the Junior Canadians. The branding they still use now. Welland have been league champions in the 1977-78, 1979-80, 1982-83, and 1990-91 seasons. ==Season-by-season results==
