After four seasons of play, the Guelph Biltmore Hat Company became the team's sponsors, and the team changed names to the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters.[citation needed] Guelph's best season was 1937–38, when they played in the OHA championship series for the J. Ross Robertson Cup, but lost to the Oshawa Generals.[1]
