Founded in 1949 in what became the Metro Junior B Hockey League (in 1956). The Staffords disappeared but were replaced when the East York Rockets moved to Mississauga in 1952. The Beehives won Metro Junior B titles in 1970 and 1971. They joined the new Ontario Provincial Juior "A" league in 1972 and stayed until the league began to fall apart in 1986, although the Beehives folded a year before the league did due to their rink being sold and closed down. The Beehives were three time Sutherland Cup All-Ontario Junior "B" Champions: 1957, 1970, 1971.
Their first Sutherland Cup came as they won the Metro "B" and proceeded to defeat Sarnia 4-games-to-2 with one tie to win the All-Ontario. In 1967, the Beehives made it back to the Sutherland Cup but were thwarted 4-games-to-2 by the Kitchener Greenshirts. In 1970 and 1971 as Metro Champs, they came back again defeating the Hamilton Mountain Bee's both years 4-games-to-1 with one tie and 4-games-to-1 respectively.
