Ball Hockey was first established in Innisfil in the spring of 2003, consisting of 150 children in 3 divisions. The children that year ranged in age from 5 to 13 years old. They played their games out of the Stroud Curing Club located in the north end of the Stroud Arena complex. A little modification such as portable boards, and a tabletop score clock were used, and worked out nicely. The first year we sent one team, The Innisfil Wave to the Ontario Provincial Championships. We also participated in Innisfil Summerfest in 2003, running 2 ball hockey courts at Innisfil Beach park. 2 Barrie Colt players took part in the action, signing autograghs but also playing in the games and giving the kids tips.

In our second year we increased registration to over 200 children in 4 divisions, the 2 younger divisions (Tyke and Novice) played in the Stroud Curling Club and the 2 older divisions (Atom and Peewee) played in the Stroud Arena, and the Lefroy Arena. We sent 3 teams to the Ontario Provincial Championships held in Barrie in late July 2004. The Novice Wave made it to, and won the B championship game over Newmarket 3-2 giving us our first Ontario Championship. We also expanded, and improved our in house Summerfest Tournament to include 4 ball hockey courts and introduced new games such as the Top Shot and Radar Challenge. we had a barbeque to feed the crowd, and free bottled water for all the players.

2005 was an outstanding season with registration growing to 270. The Novice division increased from four to six teams and the growth was felt through all divisions. Summerfest again was a great success!

In 2006 registration was increased to well over 300 players in six divisions. Bantam was added as a new division and ran with 4 full teams, in fact 26 house league teams played in 2006 with another 5 provincial teams added. The first Bantam Wave went to Chatham in July to represent Innisfil At the Ontario Provincial Championships and showed very respectfully. The Atom Provincial Wave Team won The Metro Cup in Mississauga and the Tyke Wave won the Ontario Provincial B Championship in Belleville giving Innisfil it's second Provincial title.

In the future we are looking to increase registration to allow everyone a chance to play this wonderful, affordable game. We are looking forward to the completion of the new Multi Use recreational facility in which our members can play and the possiblility of holding Provincial Championship games in Innisfil in the future. But mostly, we are looking forward to the return of our players and ther families and the continued fun and simplicity of the game anyone can play.
