The Essa Stallions are a United Hockey Union-sanctioned junior ice hockey team from Angus, Ontario, Canada. They are a member of the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League and began play in the 2016–17 season.
History
On May 4, 2016, proposals were made to Essa Township Council where it was agreed the Stallions would be allowed to play in the fall of 2016. Their first head coach would be Sylvain Cloutier, a 20-year hockey journeyman who has played in North America and England. Cloutier has coached several teams including the Corpus Christi IceRays (CHL) in 2008–09.[1] The Stallions qualified for 2017 playoffs after their inaugural season. The first round consisted of a two-game series with an aggregate total score to move on. Their opponent, the O-Town Rebels, forfeited the second game and the Stallions played in the four team round-robin where they were eliminated.
