The Kitchener Greenshirts name has been used by five separate hockey teams playing in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. These include one 'Senior A' level hockey team, two 'Junior A' level teams, and two 'Junior B' level teams.

Junior A (c.1922 to c.1938)

The first Greenshirts team played in the OHA prior to WWI. Kitchener was awarded the J. Ross Robertson Cup by default in 1935 after winning a protest on the series they lost to the Oshawa Generals. The decision on the protest came to late for Kitchener to challenge the Northern Champion Sudbury Cub Wolves for the right to compete for the Memorial Cup. Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Bauer graduated from this team in 1935. The Greenshirts were runners-up in the 1936 J. Ross Robertson Cup finals.

Junior A (1951 to 1954)

The second team known as the Kitchener Greenshirts played from 1951 to 1954, then were renamed the Kitchener Canucks. The Kitchener Canucks later became the Peterborough TPT Petes.
