The Tottenham Express are a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Tottenham, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League. The team was formerly known as the Tottenham Steam until April of 2020.

History

The Tottenham Steam joined the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League in 2014. Their first general manager and head coach was Ryan Wood. The Steam played their first game, at home, on September 6, 2014. Hosting the Russell Cup champions Bradford Bulls, winning 7–5. The first goal in team history was scored by Brian Rupp after 3:44 into the first period.
Shortly after winning their first Russell Cup championship in 2016, the Tottenham Steam gained new owners in the DaSilva family. Cup-winning coach Ryan Wood left the team to take the same positions with the New Tecumseth Civics. The DaSilva's initially brought in Johan Moell as general manager and Jim Aldred as head coach for the 2016–17 season but would instead hire former NHL All-Star Dennis Maruk as head coach. However, Maruk had to take a leave of absence midseason and was replaced by Brandon Billie. For the 2017–18 season, the Steam brought in Matt Hamilton as head coach and general manager after previously coaching the Bradford Rattlers.
2018-2019 would see the Steam add Robert Babiak as General Manager, coming off a season with the Port Huron Prowlers. Babiak would depart the team in January, with the team then trading away many of its key players. Following the 2018–19 season, the DaSilva's sold the team to new ownership, which retained Hamilton as general manager and head coach.
Following the 2019-2020 season, a further change in ownership would occur, with Matt Hamilton becoming the sole owner of the team after a lengthy process of acquiring full ownership of the team. The team would rebrand as the Tottenham Express with the hopes of starting a new life for the club. Derek Robinson would become Head Coach with Matt Hamilton acting as the team's General Manager and President.
