n the summer of 2008, a group of Toronto-based businessmen bought the rights to the Bancroft franchise[9][10] and renamed the team the Upper Canada Hockey Club and moved the team to North York, Toronto, Ontario.[9] The club had a working relationship with Upper Canada College but was not directly affiliated. Despite owning the franchise that used to be the Hawks, no member of the UCHC was involved with the manifestations of the franchise in either Deseronto or Bancroft. The Upper Canada Hockey Club's first game was an 8-5 loss to the Seguin Bruins on September 6, 2008.[11] The team's first win was at home against the Villanova Knights, 5-4 on September 14, 2008.[12] In 2009, the team changed their name to the Patriots and moved to Etobicoke, Toronto
