The Brooks Bandits, Blackfalds Bulldogs, Okotoks Oilers, Sherwood Park Crusaders and Spruce Grove Saints are jointly denying that they have entered into any agreements to leave the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL).
In social media posts late Thursday, January 25, the teams say they have full intentions of fulfilling their commitments for the remainder of this season, and disagree with a decision by the AJHL to cancel games.
They also say, “We have not entered into any agreement to leave any of those organizations, nor have we made any announcement to that effect.”
In a statement on Jan. 20, the BCHL appeared to confirm social media reports of the teams leaving, saying, “The British Columbia Hockey League has announced that it has come to terms with five Alberta-based teams to join the league for the 2024-25 season. The teams that have committed to terms include, the Blackfalds Bulldogs, Brooks Bandits, Okotoks Oilers, Sherwood Park Crusaders and Spruce Grove Saints.”
