[edit] History

Originally founded as the Humboldt Indians, the team moved to Estevan in 1957. The team was a founding member of the Western Hockey League in 1966. They won the President's Cup in 1967–68. In 1971 the WHL Bruins moved to New Westminster, British Columbia, where they became the New Westminster Bruins. Today that franchise is the Kamloops Blazers.

WHL Franchise history: Estevan Bruins 1966–71; New Westminster Bruins 1971–81; Kamloops Junior Oilers 1981–84; Kamloops Blazers 1984-Present

With the departure of the major junior Bruins, a new Bruins team was founded in Estevan that same year, which has played in the SJHL ever since. The Estevan Bruins have been Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champions on two occasions, in 1985 and 1999.
