[edit] History
The Cyclones are one of six expansion teams for the 2007-08 GMHL season.
The Tamworth Cyclones played their first ever game on September 7, 2007 against the Deseronto Storm in Deseronto, Ontario. The Storm defeated the Cyclones 3-2. On October 13, 2007, the Cyclones celebrated their first victory by defeating the Douro Dukes by a score of 9-2.
Despite a very slow start to their season, the Cyclone finished the season with much intensity. Finishing tenth overall in the GMJHL with 14 wins in 42 games, the Cyclones were drafted to play the fourth place Deseronto Storm in the first round of the playoffs. The underdog Cyclones brought the battle to the Storm. Game one saw them lose to the Storm 4-3. The next game had the Cyclones lose a 2-1 nailbiter. When the games could not seem to get any closer, game three went into overtime with the Storm again prevailing 4-3. With their backs to wall, the Cyclone fought another close battle with the Storm, but lost by two, including an empty-netter, to bow out of their first ever playoff series 4-games-to-none.
