The youth of Malton, Ontario, as in every other hamlet, town or city in Canada, needed the benefits of organized sports. In winter, the sport was hockey. The village elders recognized this and founded the Malton Minor Hockey Association (MMHA) in 1949. The first Executive of the MMHA were: Alex McPherson, Ron McNeil, Jack Weech and Don Williams.〔Kathleen A.

The Toronto Township Hockey League became the Mississauga Hockey League in 1968. From 1949 to 1968, MMHA teams had to go to Dixie Arena, Port Credit and Huron Park to Play their games.
