Former Teams
Ice Hockey The Bobcats, and previously the Caps, ice hockey team was at one point the centre-piece of Brandon University Athletics. Records show Brandon College having both men’s and women’s hockey teams as early as 1910. Arguably the most successful ice hockey program was under head coach (and former player) Andy Murray, who in the 1980-1981 season led the Bobcats to a 23-1 regular season record, a #1 national ranking and a berth in the national championship.

Football Re-introduced to Brandon College in 1950 under the leadership of Coach Al Tyler and Athletic Director “Curly” Tyler, the football team folded following the 1972-1973 season, coached at that time by former Athletic Director and Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame inductee Doug Steeves at the time the program ceased.

Curling Brandon University and the former Brandon College have long had successful curling programs, but perhaps none more successful than the team led by Mike McEwen. McEwen led his team to a CIS national championship in 2002 and a FISU World University Curling Championship in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word teams:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
