The Hamilton Hounds are a professional ice hockey team in the Farm Games. They are a part of the First Farm Games Expansion of 1937. The team was founded by steel manufacturing tycoon Stig Hudson, who demolished a ghetto in order to build a state of the art arena, The Dogville Arena. As the second Ontarian team in the Farm Games, the Hounds found themselves as the underdogs in the natural geographical rivalry with the Newmarket Roadrunners.
During the Golden Age, the Roadrunners were a highly lauded organization, while the Hounds suffered in mediocrity for years under the ownership of Hudson, who used the team primarily as a front for more illicit activities. The team made their first Denley Cup final appearance in 1962, where they lost in five games to the Calgary Jailbirds. Despite having classic players such as Mark Chenlin and Paul Morel throughout their history, the Hounds were unable to catch the coveted Denley and feast upon the stew.
The teams second owner, Durnovue St. Hattrick, with the assistance of his team president Rogger Van Booth, revitalized the Hounds in the late-70's to early-80's, creating a whole new atmosphere using psychological techniques and crystal meth to condition their players to become nigh invincible in terms of physicality, pushing the team into relevance and making them a worthy adversary of the Roadrunners.
The team is currently owned by all around suspicious man "Big Dog" Johnny Cashew, with Mohammed Goswami as sitting team president. Narinder Kumar, former district manager of Goswami's business company "Intellesigns Inc.", was appointed General Manager of the team after Lev Gibbert was fired following the teams Round 1 loss to the Flint Foxcatchers in 2020. Jim McPherson, of Meaford, is the current head coach. Tristen Killeen captains the team.
