In 1974, brothers Mario and Ron Cupido and Joe Finochio purchased the Hamilton Red Wings of the Ontario Hockey Association and renamed them ‘Fincups’ combining their own names. Three time finalists in three years in Hamilton, the Bert Templeton-coached squad won it all in 1975-76. They took the Emms Division regular season crown, beat Sudbury for the OHA title and New Westminster B.C. in the Memorial Cup Final in Montreal, for the national junior championship. NHL Alumni from the 1975-76 team included Captain Dale McCourt, Willie Huber, Ric Seiling, Al Secord, Joe Contini, Mike Keating, Joe Kowal, Steve Hazlett and goalie Al Jensen.
