[edit] Championships

Although Wingham has yet to win a championship under the Bulls name, they won the WOAA Sr. "A" title 3 years in a row as the Wingham Spitfires from 2001-2003, and also captured the 1950 and 1951 WOAA Grand Championship under that name, along with the 1984 Intermediate "A" title as the Wingham Royals.

[edit] 2006-07 Bulls Season

The Bulls improved greatly from their 2005-06 season, and finished the year with a 12-12-0 record, which placed them 6th in the WOAA South Division.

In the opening round of the "A" playoffs, the Bulls swept the Mildmay Monarchs in 4 games.

The Bulls would face the Durham Thundercats in the "A" semi-finals, and would quickly find themselves down 2-0 in the series, being outscored 10-1 in the process. Wingham would rebound in the 3rd game, shutting out the Thundercats in Durham by a 2-0 score, however, Durham would storm back and win the 4th and 5th games of the series rather easily to take the series 4-1 and eliminate Wingham from the playoffs.

[edit] 2007-08 Bulls Season

After a very successful 2006-07 season, in which Wingham played .500 hockey for the first time since 2001-02, the Bulls would have a very disappointing 2007-08 season, as they had their worst record in franchise history, as they went 2-23-1, earning 5 points, and a 9th place finish in the WOAA South Division.

Wingham would face the Monkton Wildcats in a best of 3 qualifying series, with the winning team advancing to the "A" playoffs. The Wildcats easily handled the Bulls in the series opener, winning 10-5 in Monkton, while in the 2nd game held in Wingham, the Wildcats would complete the 2 game sweep, winning 7-6, eliminating the Bulls from the playoffs.
