Ville-Marie first attempted to join the Ontario junior hockey ranks in 2007, making offers to both the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League and the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League to form an expansion team. The GMHL turned down the offer due to their acceptance of a Temiscaming franchise that would have been compromised with a team in such proximity. The NOJHL looked like they were going to accept the team, but the deal fell through late summer. The NOJHL claimed that the Ville-Marie franchise would probably join them in 2008.
In the
summer of 2008, the NOJHL made no mention of their interest in a
Ville-Marie franchise, but courted the already established Temiscaming
Royals GMHL club. Temiscaming took the bait and the Town of Ville-Marie
reapplied for GMHL membership. On June 23, 2008, the GMHL officially
announced the expansion of the Ville-Marie Dragons for the 2008-09
season.
Ville-Marie played their first ever game on September 12, 2008 at home against the Nipissing Alouettes.
On
January 16, 2009, the Oro-Medonte 77's posted on their website that the
upcoming game between the 77's and the Dragons had been cancelled as
the Dragons had folded for the season. This marks the first time that a
GMHL team has folded mid-season.
On April 8, 2009, it was announced that the team had been moved to Powassan, Ontario.
In
May 2011, the team was sold and renamed the Powassan Eagles. The
ownership group relied on exclusively European player recruiting and did
not have enough players to field a team for 2011-12, they claim they
will be back in 2012-13. In the Summer of 2014, the Ontario Hockey League's North Bay Battalion elected to place a farm team, the Powassan Voodoos in Powassan. The ownership of the Eagles chose to relocate and moved to Parry Sound.
