Contents

The Sarnia Bees joined the ranks of the current Western Junior "B" league in 1969. In 1971, they won the Sutherland Cup as the OHA Junior "B" champions. The Bees jumped to the Southern Ontario Junior A Hockey League for the 1971-72 season, but it proved to be lackluster at best and the team returned to Junior "B".

In 1995, the Ontario Hockey League accepted the expansion of a new team known as the Sarnia Sting. To stay out of the shadow of the OHL team, the Bees changed their name to the Steeplejacks. After another couple name changes, the Sarnia franchise became the Sarnia Blast in 2001. The team is a long standing member of the Western Junior "B" league (WOHL).
