Where it all started...

​

  • The club was formed in November, 1978 by Cal McDonald, Norm Holman, Ernie Lane and Bruce Villella.

  • The name METRE EATERS originated in North Bay. This club was christened the THUNDER BAY METRE EATERS.

  • Our logo was borrowed from a University of Florida Biomechanics brochure. Yellow, striped with red and blue are the official club uniform colours.

  • From 1978-1982 the Thunder Bay YM-YWCA was home base for the club. Since 1982 the home base is the CANADA GAMES COMPLEX.
