History
Oswego Admirals 2005–2007
The Dixie Beehives began as the Oswego Admirals, a Junior A team in the east Division of the OPJHL in 2005 out of Oswego, New York.
The Admirals were owned by the same man who owned the Syracuse Jr. Crunch, but are not the same franchise as the Crunch as they currently play in the United States. Their first season went well as they earned a berth into the playoffs. Nine games under .500 on the season, the Admirals did not survive past the first round of their first season.
The Admirals' first ever game was a 3–1 loss to the Kingston Voyageurs on September 8, 2005. During that game, the franchise's first ever goal was scored by Jason Deluca.

Why this record matters
The phrase “ice hockey team (2005–11)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5284808. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2007.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
