The Weston Dodgers are a defunct Tier II Junior "A" ice hockey team from Weston, Ontario, Canada. They were a part of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. The franchise was previously known as the Woodbridge Dodgers from 1953 to 1962, and became the Weston Dodgers after that.

History

The Dodgers started out in Woodbridge, Ontario as part of the Toronto Metro Junior B Hockey League. In 1962, the Dodgers were moved to Weston. They played reached the finals of the 1964 Sutherland Cup but lost to the Waterloo Siskins 4-1.{{Cite web |title=Sutherland Cup |url=https://www.gojhl.ca/sunderland-cup |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=www.gojhl.ca |language=en-US}} With the formation of the Junior A Ontario Hockey Association, the Dodgers moved up in the OPJHL in 1972.{{Cite web |title=JUNIOR 'A' HISTORY {{!}} Ontario Junior A Hockey League |url=https://pointstreaksites.com/view/ojhl/home-of-the-ojhl-1/junior-a-history |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=pointstreaksites.com}}

Moved in 1972, the Dodgers played five seasons of OPJHL Hockey. Their best season was their first season where they finished in 6th place overall, but it is doubtful they ever made the playoffs after that year. After four straight losing seasons, the Dodgers folded in 1977.
