The Brockville Braves have officially qualified for the 2026 Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) playoffs. This achievement ensures that local hockey fans will have more games to watch at the Brockville Memorial Centre as the team moves into the post-season this spring.

The team secured its spot in the playoffs in March 2026 despite a recent shootout loss during an away game. While the team did not win that specific contest, the result earned them the point necessary to mathematically guarantee a position in the playoff bracket.

The CCHL post-season is a major event for the region, where the Junior ‘A’ hockey team competes against other local rivals. The organization is now focusing on its final regular season games to determine its final seeding before the playoffs begin.

This milestone marks a successful transition for the club as it prepares for the high-stakes environment of playoff hockey. Success in this league is a point of civic pride for the community, which has a long history of supporting the team during deep playoff runs.

Local fans can look forward to seeing the Braves face off against long-standing rivals like the Smiths Falls Bears as the post-season progresses. The team plays its home games in Brockville at the Memorial Centre, drawing support from the local community and surrounding regions.
