[edit] The Comets
Drayton previously had a WOAA Sr. Hockey Team, the Drayton Comets, who folded after the 1997-98 season. The Comets were Intermediate 'C' Champions on 2 occasions, in 1989-90 and 1990-91, however they were unable to capture the WOAA Grand Championship.
[edit] 2005-06 Icemen Season
WOAA Sr. Hockey came back to Drayton for the 2005-06 season, as they were awarded an expansion team, which was named the Icemen. In 25 games, the Icemen finished in last place in the 18 team league, with a 1-24-0 record. They scored 60 goals, and allowed 223. Drayton then played the Mildmay Monarchs in a best of 3 qualifying round, with the winner going to participate in the WOAA playoffs, however the Icemen were eliminated in 2 games, thus ending their season.
[edit] 2006-07 Icemen Season
The Icemen had a bit more success in their 2nd season, finishing with a 4-19-1 record, good for 8th place in the North Division, and 16th overall in the WOAA. The Icemen would then face the Georgian Bay River Rats in a best of 3 qualifying round, and the team won their first ever playoff series by sweeping the River Rats.
Drayton then faced the Milverton Four Wheel Drives in the "A" quarter finals, and in the first game were led by goaltender Ryan Cherrey as he made 66 saves in Drayton's 3-2 OT victory. Milverton stormed back and easily won the next 2 games, but Drayton evened the series up at 2 games with another surprising victory. The Icemen dropped game 5 by a 6-2 score, but put up a good fight in the 6th game before losing 3-2 in OT to be eliminated from the playoffs.
