The North York Rangers are a Junior "A" ice hockey team from North York, Ontario, Canada. They are a part of Central Division Hockey, but they were also a part of the Metro Junior A Hockey League.
The Rams originated in the Metro Junior "B" league in 1969. They made the jump to OHA Tier II Junior "A" in 1972 and remained with the league until it folded in 1987. For two seasons the league participated in the Central "B" before jumping back to the Metro "B" in 1989. In 1991, the league became the Metro Junior A Hockey League. The team moved to North York in 1992, and became the North York Rangers.
In 2006, the newly created rebel league, the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League, resurrected the Richmond Hill Rams. The team will be one of the seven teams to begin play in 2006-07 season, unsanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Association, Ontario Hockey Federation, and Hockey Canada. Ironically, the original Rams played unsanctioned hockey from 1989 until 1995.
The Rangers have been in North York since 1992.
