The '''Guelph Storm''' are a major [[junior ice hockey]] team based in [[Guelph]], [[Ontario]], Canada. They have played in the [[Ontario Hockey League|OHL]] since the 1991–92 season. The team plays home games at the [[Sleeman Centre (Guelph)|Sleeman Centre]].

==History==
The franchise started as the [[Toronto Marlboros]], who moved to [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] to become the [[Dukes of Hamilton (ice hockey)|Dukes of Hamilton]] in 1989. Following the 1990–91 season, the franchise was relocated to Guelph and a contest was held to name the team. Tom Douglas submitted the winning entry "Storm" and the team was renamed the Guelph Storm.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hockeydb.com/stte/guelph-storm-5953.html |title=Guelph Storm hockey team statistics and history at hockeydb.com |access-date=2019-05-13 |archive-date=2019-05-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513013044/http://www.hockeydb.com/stte/guelph-storm-5953.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The first year in Guelph was dismal, but the building process for Guelph was soon successful. The Storm finished first place in the 1994–95 season. General Manager Mike Kelly was voted the [[OHL Executive of the Year]] and [[Craig Hartsburg]] voted the Coach of the Year for the [[Canadian Hockey League]] and the Ontario Hockey League. Draft picks from the early years in Guelph include [[Jeff O'Neill]] and [[Todd Bertuzzi]].

Guelph reached the OHL finals in 1995 and 1996. The team qualified for the [[1996 Memorial Cup]] by playing against the Memorial Cup host [[Peterborough Petes]] in the OHL final.

The Storm won their first [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] in 1998. This success continued into the [[1998 Memorial Cup|Memorial Cup Tournament]] as the Storm rallied to the Championship Game where they lost to the [[Portland Winter Hawks]] in overtime in the final game.

In the year 2000, the team moved from the historic but aging [[Guelph Memorial Gardens]] into the Guelph Sports and Entertainment Centre (since renamed the Sleeman Centre). The Storm were selected to host the [[2002 Memorial Cup]] tournament. It marked the team's third appearance in the national junior championship, their first as host team.

Two years later, the Storm won their second OHL Championship, and returned to the [[2004 Memorial Cup]] hosted in [[Kelowna]], [[British Columbia]].

In the [[2008 NHL Entry Draft]], defenceman [[Drew Doughty]] was selected 2nd overall by the [[Los Angeles Kings]], the highest ever selection of a Guelph Storm player.

In 2014, the Storm captured their third OHL Championship, and subsequently advanced to the [[2014 Memorial Cup]] final, hosted in [[London, Ontario|London]], [[Ontario]]. The Edmonton Oil Kings won Cup championship on 25 May 2014 with a 6-3 win over the Storm.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://chlmemorialcup.ca/gallery/2014-mastercard-memorial-cup-championship-game | title=2014 MasterCard Memorial Cup – Championship Game – Memorial Cup | access-date=2019-05-13 | archive-date=2019-05-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513013332/http://chlmemorialcup.ca/gallery/2014-mastercard-memorial-cup-championship-game | url-status=live }}</ref>

In late April 2019, the team captured the Wayne Gretzky Trophy as 2019 OHL Western Conference Champions again winning the J.

In 2021,the team agreed to stop using the song [[Cotton Eye Joe (Rednex song)|Cotton Eye Joe]] by the group [[Rednex]] during games after consultation with local groups alleging the song has racist origins.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Balintec|first=Vanessa|date=December 9, 2021|title=OHL's Guelph Storm changes iconic mascot tune after confronting its racist roots|work=CBC|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/guelph-storm-mascot-1.6276453|url-status=live|access-date=9 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211209170809/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/guelph-storm-mascot-1.6276453|archive-date=9 December 2021}}</ref>

==Uniforms and logos==
For the 2007/08 season, the team switched to a crimson and white colour scheme with the same logo that was on the last jerseys, except the "stripes" that appear across the "belly" of the Storm logo itself were modified from black to crimson. The white jersey has "STORM" written on top of the logo, and the crimson jersey has "GUELPH" above the logo. The new shoulder patches, featuring the alternate "GS" logo, have been redesigned and are meant to be read from the inside (the "G") outward (the "S").

The Guelph Storm primary logo is one of the team's mascots "Spyke" surrounded by a twister with the team name above it. The team colours are white, grey, crimson and black. Home jerseys have a white background with "STORM" above the logo, and away jerseys have a crimson background with "GUELPH" above the logo.

The previous Guelph Storm logo was used from 1991 to 1995. The team colours then were white, blue, grey and black. Home jerseys had a white background and away jerseys had a blue background.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060509182657/http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?t=366 Uniforms & Logos] – from www.sportslogos.net</ref>
