In Norwich hockey binds the community. We congregate at the Nor-Del centre and worship our idols at the Norwich Merchant’s games. Our children age on the ice, and we socialize with fellow Norwichians in the stands. In the future, the negative publicity of our community will fade as we see each other at the Nor-Del centre and let the events of the past few years in Norwich fall behind us. Bring your children out to play on the Norwich Knighthawks and meet your neighbours.
The Knighthawks teach the children important skills in addition to health benefits:
- Teamwork – (Social Skills)
- Time Management
- Sportsmanship
- Working towards Goals
- Handling Emotion

Founding of Norwich – In 1809 Peter Lossing, a member of the Society of Friends from New York visited Norwich Township, and in June, 1810, with his brother-in-law, Peter De Long, purchased 15000 acres of land in the area. That fall Lossing brought his family to Upper Canada and early in 1811 and settled . The De Long family and nine others joined Lossing the same year and by 1820 an additional group of about fifty had settled within the tract. Many were Quakers and a frame meeting house, planned in 1812, was erected in 1817. These resourceful pioneers founded one of the most successful Quaker communities in Upper Canada.
