TheBrampton Warriors are a pair of defunctjunior ice hockey teams fromBrampton,Ontario,Canada. They were a part of theOntario Provincial Junior A Hockey League, Central Junior B Hockey League,Metro Junior B Hockey League, andMetro Junior A League. These two teams are the forerunners of the OPJHL'sBrampton Capitals.
The Warriors began asBrampton Regents during the 1940s[citation needed] playing at the Junior B level. In 1957, the team became sponsored by a local distributor of the7 Up soft drink. TheBrampton 7Ups played in the now defunctMetro Junior A League for two seasons, 1961–62 and 1962-63. Bob Savage was their coach for both seasons. The team returned to theMetro Junior B Hockey League in 1963.
Brampton joined the Central Junior B Hockey League in 1971 during a massiveOntario Hockey Association reshuffling of the Junior "B" ranks. Prior to this, they were members of theMetro Junior B Hockey League. They are the only known member of the Metro league to be affected by the reshuffle as it was mostly done between members of the Central league and theMid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League.
TheBrampton Warriors Jr. A team were an OPJHL team for two seasons in the 1980s. Their 40-6-4 record in the second season would normally be unstoppable, however the Warriors finished in second place in 1981-82 behind a 40-4-6Guelph Platers team that would make the jump to theOntario Hockey League the next season. As the Warriors folded for good at the end of the season, the Platers came within arm's reach of winning theNational Title.
Three alumni of the Brampton 7Ups went on to play in theNational Hockey League, all of them (Ken Broderick,Andy Brown, andLyle Carter) were goaltenders playing a combined total of 106 NHL games. Although Andy Brown played in just 62 games in the NHL over the course of three seasons, he will forever be a part of NHL hockey history. Brown carries the distinction of being the last goaltender in the league to play without aprotective mask, now a mandatory rule.
