[edit] History
The Belleville McFarlands, like their cousins Whitby Dunlops grew out of the Ontario Senior B system of the early 1950's. They became part of a Senior A league in Eastern Ontario in 1956-57.
This team only existed for four full seasons, but they won an Allan Cup and a World Championship during that time. They folded at the beginning of the 1960-61 season, a victim of the low popularity of senior hockey.
