I put this on an Orillia Facebook page this morning and I thought, what the hell, I’ll put it here too.
I got this old Orillia sweater (below) and I’m hoping someone might have any info about the team. It’s wool and a scratchy old thing (really scratchy), probably from the 1940s or 50s, and says ‘Orillia Flyers’ along with the letters ‘WS’.
I’ve come up with a few things and maybe I’m way off, but it’s how detectives work, right?
1. I’m assuming this is a hockey or lacrosse sweater so that eliminates the Orillia Flyers Ladies Softball team from years ago, a team I read about in an old Packet & Times newspaper story.
