The Brantford Bulldogs officially won the Ontario Hockey League Eastern Conference regular-season championship on March 18, 2026, following a win over the Niagara IceDogs in Brantford, Ontario.
The team reached a major milestone during this successful run by surpassing 100 points, currently holding 102 points for the year. This top finish gives the local team an advantage as they prepare for the post-season, which begins on March 26, 2026.
According to the Ontario Hockey League, the roster was strengthened earlier in the season by the addition of players like defenseman Ben Danford. Danford, a prospect for the Toronto Maple Leafs, joined the club in October 2025 following a trade with the Oshawa Generals.
Other major contributors to the season include forward Marek Vanacker and goaltender Ryerson Leenders. This achievement marks a high point for the team since it moved to the city and brings excitement to local fans before the playoffs start next week.
