History
The Midgets trace their roots to the Stratford Hockey Club which existed in the early 1900s. The team featured Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Frank Rankin.[citation needed]
Stratford won the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) junior championship in three successive seasons in 1907, 1908 and 1909, then won the J. Ross Robertson Cup as OHA junior champions in 1921.[1] The Midgets were the Eastern Canada junior champions in 1921, and finalist in the 1921 Memorial Cup.[citation needed]
Stratford were finalists for the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 1920, 1933, 1934 and 1937.[1] At the end of the 1930s, the team was renamed the Stratford Kist, and subsequently became the Stratford Kroehlers.[citation needed]
