The Exeter Mohawks were a senior hockey team based out of Exeter, Ontario, Canada. The team was previously known as the Hensall Sherwoods, but relocated to Exeter in the summer of 2007. The Mohawks played in the Western Ontario Athletic Association Senior Hockey League.
In the 1980s, the Exeter Mohawks were an Ontario Hockey Association senior hockey club. As members of the Central Senior B Hockey League, the Mohawks were 1988 OHA Senior AA Champions and All-Ontario Senior AA Champions, losing the Col. J. Bourque Trophy Final to the Campbellton Tigers of New Brunswick. The Bourque Trophy was the Eastern Championship of Senior AA hockey and the semi-final of the Hardy Cup.
Hensall slipped a bit from their 18-6-1 record in the 2005-06 season, as they finished with a 13-9-2 record, finishing fourth in the WOAA South Division, and qualifying for the WOAA Sr. "AA" playoffs. In their last game of the season, they were tied with the Milverton Four Wheel Drives in the standings with identical 12-9-2 records, with the winner advancing to the "AA" playoffs, while the loser would play in the "A" playoffs, and the Sherwoods prevailed with a 5-4 victory
They would go on to face the best team in the league in the opening round of the "AA" playoffs, the Lucknow Lancers, and after splitting the first two games of the series, the Lancers would go on and win three in a row to eliminate Hensall and ending their season.
The Exeter Mohawks opened the season at home against the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, and came out on the wrong side of a 4-1 score. Exeter would record their first win in their second game of the season, defeating the Monkton Wildcats 8-3. The Mohawks would have a very solid season, finishing with a 17-9-0 record, and qualify for the "AA" playoffs, as the team ended up in fourth place in the South Division.
