History[]

The Toronto Young Rangers were a junior team in Toronto, Ontario.

They played in the Ontario Hockey Association from 1928-29 to 1929-30 and 1933-34 through 1947-48.

While most teams in the league had an affiliation with a National Hockey League club, the Young Rangers did not. They were owned, operated and coached by Ed Wildey (November 22, 1875 – July 19, 1964), a Toronto sportsman who worked out an arrangement with Conn Smythe that saw the team practise early mornings at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. During the 1940-41 season, Wildey was able to secure sponsorship and the team was known as the "Bowles Rangers." For his contributions to junior hockey, in 1962, Ed Wildey was awarded the Gold Stick, an order of merit in hockey awarded by the OHA for outstanding service to the game other than as a player.
