Twenty-five years, named
The Mississauga Stars took the first two, in 2001 and 2002, then the Bloor Jays, the Richmond Hill Phoenix and the Burlington Bulls. The Brooklin Dodgers won back to back in 2006 and 2007 before the Bulls put together three straight from 2008 to 2010 -- four titles in six years, the longest run in the league's history.
Then it opens up. The Clarington Cubs in 2011, the Pickering Pirates in 2012, the Whitby Chiefs in 2013, the Scarborough Dragons in 2014 and 2015, the Vaughan Vikings in 2016, the Dragons again in 2017, and the Chiefs back for 2018 and 2019. The 2020 entry reads: no champion due to Covid, which is the plainest line on the page and the only one that needed an explanation.
Since then the Vikings in 2021 and 2024, and the Whitby Canadians in 2022, 2023 and 2025 -- three titles in four years, and the current holders.
Alongside the list sit historical standings for every season from 2001 and a stats package for every season from 2006 to 2025, with 2020 absent from both. A record like that deserves to be pages rather than a column of text and a shelf of files, and on a High Cheese league page each of those seasons keeps its own address with the standings, the roster and the final on it.
