History

In 2008, the strangest events took place during the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League playoffs opening round against the Ottawa West Golden Knights. Clarence won the series 4-3, but game 7 was voided and had to be replayed because of an officiating error. Clarence Beavers fans dubbed the replay game 7 as "Game 8". Ottawa West won the replayed game and the series 4-3. The series loss was a bitter pill to swallow for the Clarence Beavers hockey club.
In 2017 the Clarence Beaver franchise was purchased by the Carleton Place Canadians and re-located and renamed to the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians in the CCHL2 league as part of their developmental model.
