The team will be part of the OJHL next season

The Niagara Falls Canucks are making a big change. 

The team will join the Ontario Junior Hockey League next season, to play Junior A hockey. 

For over 50 years, the Canucks have played Junior B hockey.

They'll play alongside teams from Brantford, Milton, Burlington and Aurora. 

"The Niagara Region is a tremendous hockey community and the OJHL is extremely excited to be bringing Junior A hockey to the city of Niagara Falls," said OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy. "The ownership of Brandon Boone and Frank Pietrangelo expressed not only their desire to join the OJHL but more importantly their commitment to bring Junior A hockey to Niagara Falls.  That commitment to the city and Junior hockey will be a tremendous asset to all players, fans, sponsors who are part of the Junior Canucks Organization."
