In late 1936, “Touch” Woods, owner of a local trucking company, and Wally Walker, a florist and member of the St. Catharines Lions Club, decided they wanted to sponsor a Hockey team made up of players from British Methodist Episcopal Church / BME. There was a group at BME already playing together, but not in organized competition. The churchgoers accepted the sponsorship offer.

They wore orange sweaters with four black stripes on the arms and the letters TST stitched across the chest, for Toronto-St. Catharines Transport, the name of Woods’s trucking company.
