Brooks Bandits History:
The Brooks Bandits were awarded an expansion franchise by the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) in 1999 and began play in the 2000–01 season. The franchise secured its expansion fee through what they call "The Founding Fathers", a group of 17 local businesses and individuals who donated the money needed to finance the team in exchange for lifetime benefits with the team.
The 2-2-0-0 Defending National Junior A Champion Brooks Bandits make their first and only visit to Kal Tire Place, are coming off a 6-3 loss Saturday in Penticton. The Bandits lost both games over the weekend in the Peach City. Today is the Bandits third game in as many days. The defending champion Bandits still have two more exhibition games after facing Vernon before opening the 2019-20 regular season In Drumheller September 13th. The Bandits are coming off a record season last year, losing all but three games.
