In 1978, they were the Ontario champions before winning a bronze medal at the national championships.
In 1979, under the leadership of Team President Dr. Denis Page, the club entered the Inter-County League for three seasons. The Chiefs captured three regular season pennants under Managers Mike Hurst (1979, 1980) and Ris Massetti (1981). The team also captured the Ontario championship and competed at the National Championships in 1979 and 1980. In 1982, the Windsor Chiefs entered the Detroit Federal League until 1989 when they joined the Pontiac Federal League. They went on to capture seven Canadian championships over a ten year span. These national championship teams were managed by John Upham (1982), Don Hollerhead (1984), Tom Valcke (1986), Paul Rutckyj (1988, 1989, 1990) and Mike Price (1991). During various seasons the coaching staff included Renzo Anzolin, Jim Dalton, and Armand Mastellotto.
