Cooksville Hockey Association

The Cooksville Hockey Association initially began in 1945-46 as the Cooksville Athletic Club and later changed to the Cooksville Sports Club. The club was founded by Jack Belleghem, Albert Belford, Jim Newman, Gordon Harris, Charlie Copeland, Carson Crothers and Jim Kingsbury. There was no local league at that time, so the one team, a Minor Midget team, coached by TAIT Courtney, was entered into the Toronto Hockey League. The following season, they were able to enter four teams into the T.H.L., but in 1947 the T.T.H.L. (now the M.H.L.) was formed and now we had teams playing in a league in our own area.
