The Sydney Bears are a semi-professional ice hockey team based in Penrith, New South Wales. They are currently one of eight teams competing in the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). The Bears played at the Sydney Ice Arena from the time of their inception through the end of the 2006 season. They moved into their new arena, Penrith Ice Palace, to begin the 2007 AIHL season.

Team history

The Bears are two-time winners of the Goodall Cup and won the AIHL championship in 2002 and 2007. The Bears were one of three teams that founded the AIHL in 2000, along with the Adelaide Avalanche and Canberra Knights. Although the Bears did not win the championship in either year, they won the Goodall Cup tournament in 2001 in Newcastle, the last time the Cup was awarded independently of the AIHL.

In 2002, the Bears defeated the Avalanche in the Goodall Cup final for their second consecutive Cup and their first and only AIHL championship to date. Four members of the Bears - Tyler Lovering, Brett Nelson-Bond, Vladimir Rubes and Murray Wand - were named to the Mighty Roos roster for the 2006 Division II World Championships in New Zealand. In 2007 the team announced they would move to Penrith for the 2007 AIHL season and at the same time, dropping the "Sydney" part from the name to become The Bears, or AIHL Bears. For the start of the 2010 season the Bears reverted to their previous name of Sydney Bears.[3]
