History

The current EHL-Premier Division Boston Bandits played in the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) from 1996 until its dissolution in 2013. The Bandits would then join the Atlantic Junior Hockey League which would reorganize and become the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) for the 2013–14 season.

The Bandits organization also fields teams in the lower level EHL - Elite, as well as youth hockey select teams at the Bantam, Peewee, and Squirt and various other levels. The EHL - Elite team originally played in the Empire Junior B Hockey League until 2013 and then the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League (MetJHL) from 2013 to 2015 at which point the EHL added the Elite Division and the former EHL teams were all promoted to the Premier Division.
