Bandits wanting to ‘write a new story’ in defending national championship
BROOKS, AB – One of the shortest summers in Brooks Bandits history is nearing completion, just over three months after the most memorable day in franchise history.
The date was May 19, the rink was Centennial Regional Arena, the final score was 4-3.
That Sunday afternoon saw captain Nathan Plessis lift the National Junior ‘A’ Championship trophy in front of thousands of hometown fans, the second national title in the history of the Bandits.
Goaltender Pierce Charleson was mobbed by his Bandits brothers at the final buzzer, a memory that will stay with him for the rest of his life.
