The Chiefs are members of the Provincial Women's Hockey League of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association. The 2-time regular season champions, 3-time Alumni Cup playoff runners-up, and 3-time Ontario Intermediate AA champions.

The Jr. Chiefs are the namesake of the former professional Mississauga Chiefs, who shared the same program. The Chiefs have moved to become the Toronto Aeros, but the minor hockey and junior teams have kept the name.

On January 31, 2010, the Jr. Chiefs host the China women's national ice hockey team in front of a sold-out crowd. The Chiefs won the game 4-1, despite the fact that China was ranked the seventh best senior national team in the world and on their way to the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The Jr. Chiefs finished 2010-11 in first place with 33 wins and only 3 losses. They would lose the Alumni Cup final to the Toronto Jr. Aeros, but avenged the loss by beating them to close out the season and win gold at the OWHA Intermediate AA provincials. At provincials, the Chiefs finished second in their pool with a 2-1 record behind the London Jr. Devilettes. Their record got them into a quarter-final qualifying game, in which they beat the Durham West Jr. Lightning 3-0. In the quarter-final, the Chiefs beat the Bluewater Jr. Hawks 3-2. In the semi-final, they were victorious again, edging the Whitby Jr. Wolves 1-0. In the finals, the Chiefs answered back for their Alumni Cup loss with a 7-2 shellacking of the Jr. Aeros.
