'The '''Brockville Braves''' (French: ''Braves de Brockville'') are a [[Junior ice hockey|Junior A ice hockey]] team based in [[Brockville]], [[Ontario]]. The Braves compete in the [[Central Canada Hockey League]] (CCHL) as a member of the West Division and have won two Bogart Cups and two [[Fred Page Cup|Fred Page Cups]] since their founding in 1963. They are one of the <nowiki>''Original Four''</nowiki> CCHL teams, and they play their home games at the Brockville Memorial Centre.{{Infobox hockey team | colour = background:#FFFFFF; border-top:red 5px solid; border-bottom:black 5px solid; | colour text = black | team = Brockville Braves | logo = Brockville Braves Official.png | logosize = 100px | city = [[Brockville, Ontario]], Canada | league = [[Central Canada Hockey League]] | division = West Division | founded = 1963 | arena = Brockville Memorial Centre | colours = Red, white, black <br/>{{color box|#FF2400}} {{color box|white}} {{color box|black}} | owner =Hani Greiss and Dustin Traylen | coach = [[Randy Jones (ice hockey)|Randy Jones]] | GM = Dustin Traylen | media =[[FloSports]] | affiliates = <!---Franchise history---> | name1 = Brockville Braves | dates1 = 1963–1975 | name2 = Brockville Warriors | dates2 = 1975–1977 | name3 = Brockville Braves | dates3 = 1977–1980 | name4 = Rockland Remparts | dates4 = 1980–1981 | name5 = '''Brockville Braves''' | dates5 = 1981–present |capacity=1,800}} Such NHLers as [[Larry Robinson]] and [[Wayne Simmonds]], amongst other famous players, have both played for the Braves. ==History== The Brockville Braves (est. 1963) are the oldest continuously operated franchise in the CCHL. In 1979, the team received national attention after being left homeless from an arena collapse. They played their home games at [[Cardinal, Ontario|Cardinal]] and [[Rockland, Ontario|Rockland]]. It took until 1986 for the Brockville Braves to win a CJHL championships. They clinched the Bogart Cup on a late April night, defeating their nemesis [[Pembroke Lumber Kings|Pembroke]] 8-7 in the finals. Braves' goalie Jacques Breault was the hero, as with 22 seconds to go in the game, turned away a penalty shot by the league's all-time leading scorer Luc Chabot. Although losing to [[Orillia]] in the Ontario playdowns, the team was a memorable one. Notable members of this team were all-time Braves leading scorer Larry Mitchell, Breault, Paul Duford, Tim Dubas, Dan Nummikoski, Steve Rachwal, Chad Badawey and Rob White. Since that championship, the team has experienced more bad times than good. The late 1980s and early 1990s were not good to the Braves, who failed to make the playoffs multiple times. In 1997, times began to change for the better again. The Braves competed in and won in Quebec, the [[Fred Page Cup]], the Eastern Canadian Junior "A" championship. This allowed for their team to compete in the event and give them the experience they needed for the next season. The Braves regained their league title in 1998, bringing the club around full circle. Former NHLer [[Todd Gill]] purchased the Brockville Braves and has been the head coach since 2006-07. He helped bring the Fred Page Cup to Brockville for the first time for 2010. Gill played in the NHL from 1984 to 2003 playing for the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]], [[San Jose Sharks]], [[Detroit Red Wings]], [[Phoenix Coyotes]], and [[St. Louis Blues]]. Former Braves head coach Mike McCourt was recently named head coach of the OHL's [[Niagara Ice Dogs]] for 2009-10. McCourt was head coach with Brockville from 2003 to 2006. In 2009-2010, the Braves established a league record for most consecutive wins with 26. Brockville completed easy series wins over Kemptville (4-0) and Ottawa (4-0) to win a berth in the finals against the Pembroke Lumber Kings - as predicted by many CJHL followers. However, it was Pembroke that made CJHL history by winning four-consecutive Art Bogart Cup championships knocking off the Braves in 5 games. Despite, the finals loss to the Lumber Kings, the Braves won the Fred Page Cup against the Lumber Kings in an all-league finals tilt as the Braves won 5-1. At the Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin, Manitoba, the Braves broke a Royal Bank Cup record the highest margin of victory by defeating the [[Oakville Blades]] 11-2. (The previous record was held by the 1999 Vernon Vipers, who defeated the Charlottetown Abbies 9-3 in the championship game in Yorkton, SASK). The Braves would still have to win their last game against the [[La Ronge Ice Wolves]], in which they did 6-3 to earn a berth in the semi-finals against the defending RBC champions, [[Vernon Vipers]]. Vernon went on to win the game 2-0, leaving the Braves out. In 2014, the Brockville Braves were sold to former CCHL goaltender Dustin Traylen, who became the general manager. The previous owner was Todd Gill, who sold the Braves because he got a coaching job with the [[Kingston Frontenacs]] of the [[Ontario Hockey League]] in 2011. ==Season-by-season record== '''''Note:'''
