The Strathcona Bruins are a Junior B hockey team playing in the Capital Junior Hockey League. The team was renamed the Bruins in 2008 after playing under the name Sabres since 1978.[1]

The Bruins hosted the 2012-13 season All-Star Game at the Ardrossan Recreation Complex. Rookies Jordan Martin, Jeff Bronetto, and Robbie Lloyd represented the Bruins in the Rookie Game, in which the East Rookies defeated the West Rookies 9-8. Keagan Gorda, Dan Ketsa, and Wes Walkeden represented the Bruins in the All-Star Game, which the East won 10-9 in overtime. Ketsa was named MVP of the game for the East.

Home Arena

The Bruins play out of the Strathcona Olympiette Centre (SOC) located in Strathcona County.[2]

"With a capacity of approximately 400 spectator seats and additional standing room around the arena, SOC is one of the largest and brightest facilities in the CJHL. The arena features a fully functional Air Horn and rotating lights above the scoreboard used every time the Bruins score a goal. The facility features a full sized ice surface and miniature ice surface roughly a 1/3 the size of a regular hockey rink. Adjoining the arena, a five-sheet curling rink complete with its own lobby and lounge. Along with a fully functional kitchen located upstairs, SOC is one of the premier multi-purpose facilities located within Strathcona County. The main ice surface features a full sized centre ice Strathcona Bruins logo, one of the few arenas within the Edmonton area to have that privilege (Rexall Place is the only other arena displaying a logo to that magnitude). In the future the Bruins are looking to add their own private dressing room to accommodate the players, along with a fully functional fitness facility to be located within the arena to be used by the Bruins Junior Hockey Club, and the players and parents who frequently use the facility".[3]

CJHL History

"The Capital Junior Hockey League was established in 1972. At that time it was known as "Edmonton Metropolitan Junior Hockey League. Many excellent hockey players were leaving Alberta to play junior hockey elsewhere. Sometimes, their education and family life suffered, in other cases, "turned off" by the experience, they quit and returned home. A group of Edmonton and district businessmen felt that there was a need to offer an alternate choice. They planned a program that would be developmental and recreational, a program where players could develop hockey and life skills in harmony. A program that maintains a competitive brand of hockey with recreation value. The directors of the Capital Junior Hockey League feel they provide this environment. What more could be said about a junior hockey program where the players can live at home and play competitive junior hockey. In familiar surroundings, players can work, go to school, or attend any other academic institution. The Capital Junior Hockey League is proud that many of their players continued on in hockey. They are especially proud of the hockey environment their program extends to all the players and coaches. The Capital Junior Hockey league was incorporated in January 1973. The members were the U of A Junior Bears, South Side Athletic Club, North Side Club, Sherwood Park Knights, St. Albert Juniors, and the Fort Saskatchewan Hawks. Two of these are still members: Sherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan."
