The team was officially founded in 1935. This was the first year that an All-Newfoundland championship was awarded, and in subsequent years the Herder Memorial Trophy would become the coveted symbol of hockey supremacy on the island. Corner Brook defeated Grand Falls for the Western Newfoundland championship that year, and by March 27 they had been named All-Newfoundland champions after downing the St. John's Guards in the capital to win the first Herder Memorial Trophy.
By the winter of 1940, Newfoundland, ruled by the British Commission of Government, was at war. A number of men from Corner Brook joined the service in the following five years and, obviously, both local and All-Newfoundland play suffered as a result.
From those humble beginnings, hockey players and organizers had proceeded to win an additional 8 Herders over the years, and be the first island team to win the Allan Cup, the symbol of Senior hockey supremacy throughout Canada.
