The Hamilton Mountain A's are a defunct Junior "A" ice hockey team from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They were a part of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.[1]

History[edit]

Originating as the Hamilton Red Wing B's, the team became the Hamilton Mountain Bees in 1967 as a member of the Niagara & District Junior B Hockey League. In 1974, the team switched over to the new Golden Horseshoe Junior B Hockey League.

The team joined the Southern Ontario Junior A Hockey League in 1975, and later joined the OPJHL in 1977.[2] They folded in 1984 to make way for the Ontario Hockey League's Hamilton Steelhawks.
