Niagara Riverhawks

In 1987, the Chippawa Merchants were granted an OHA Junior C franchise and were based in the Chippawa Willoughby Arena.^[1]

In 1999, the Chippawa Merchants changed their team name to the RiverHawks.

In 2001, the RiverHawks defeated the Belle River Canadiens of the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League 4-games-to-1 to win the Clarence Schmalz Cup as Ontario Hockey Association provincial Junior C champions.^[2]

In 2010, the RiverHawks left the Chippawa Willoughby Arena for the brand new Gale Centre, located in Niagara Falls.^[3] As a part of the move the team changed colours from their original red, white and black scheme to teal, gray and white with orange trim.

In 2014, the RiverHawks were granted a name change to the Niagara RiverHawks to reflect their use of the Gale Centre in Niagara Falls as their home arena, and their at-large status by not being affiliated with a specific Junior B hockey club.^[1]

For the 2016-17 season the Riverhawks became part of the Junior C hockey re-structure in Southern Ontario. All junior C leagues joined under one umbrella as the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The former Niagara & District Junior C Hockey League became the Bloomfield Division of the South Conference.

The playoffs for the 2019-20 season were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the team not being able to play a single game.
