The '''Brampton Warriors''' are a pair of defunct [[junior ice hockey]] teams from [[Brampton, Ontario|Brampton]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]].  They were a part of the [[Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League]], Central Junior B Hockey League, [[Metro Junior A Hockey League|Metro Junior B Hockey League]], and [[Metro Junior A League]].  These two teams are the forerunners of the OPJHL's [[Brampton Capitals]].

==History==
The Warriors began as '''Brampton Regents''' during the 1940s{{fact|date=April 2023}} playing at the Junior B level. In 1957, the team became sponsored by a local distributor of the [[7 Up]] soft drink. The '''Brampton 7Ups''' played in the now defunct [[Metro Junior A League]] for two seasons, 1961–62 and 1962-63. Bob Savage was their coach for both seasons. The team returned to the [[Metro Junior A Hockey League|Metro Junior B Hockey League]] in 1963.

Brampton joined the Central Junior B Hockey League in 1971 during a massive [[Ontario Hockey Association]] reshuffling of the Junior "B" ranks. Prior to this, they were members of the [[Metro Junior A Hockey League|Metro Junior B Hockey League]]. They are the only known member of the Metro league to be affected by the reshuffle as it was mostly done between members of the Central league and the [[Mid-Ontario Junior B Hockey League]].

The '''Brampton Warriors Jr. A''' team were an OPJHL team for two seasons in the 1980s. Their 40-6-4 record in the second season would normally be unstoppable, however the Warriors finished in second place in 1981-82 behind a 40-4-6 [[Guelph Platers]] team that would make the jump to the [[Ontario Hockey League]] the next season. As the Warriors folded for good at the end of the season, the Platers came within arm's reach of winning the [[Royal Bank Cup|National Title]].

==Notable alumni==
Three alumni of the Brampton 7Ups went on to play in the [[National Hockey League]], all of them ([[Ken Broderick]], [[Andy Brown (ice hockey)|Andy Brown]], and [[Lyle Carter]]) were goaltenders playing a combined total of 106 NHL games. Although Andy Brown played in just 62 games in the NHL over the course of three seasons, he will forever be a part of NHL hockey history. Brown carries the distinction of being the last goaltender in the league to play without a [[Goaltender mask|protective mask]], now a mandatory rule.
