Car Rentals Toronto and Mississauga St. Michaels Majors
When you think of Toronto and hockey, chances are you automatically think the Toronto Maple Leafs. But did you know that the GTA is also home to an amazing minor league team, the St. Michael's Majors? The Mississauga St. Michael's Majors are a junior hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The team, which was originally known as the Toronto St. Michael's Majors, was founded in 1906 by the prestigious St. Michael's College School. Today, the franchise is one of the top teams in Ontario.
The look of cool blue confidence
The St. Michael's Majors are easy to spot when they take the ice thanks to jersey's that are light blue, navy and white. The primary logo for the team displays "St. Michael's" in written in script, with a Majors underscored beneath. Customers of TransCanada Car Rentals Toronto may also see the boys in blue wearing jerseys with a large letter "M" as their logo. To celebrate the Major's tenth season back in the league, the team launched a third jersey with the St. Michael's School cloverleaf logo on the front. Customers of TransCanada Car Rentals Toronto can purchase souvenir jersey's during home Major's games.
