The Brockville Bulldogs are a former junior ice hockey franchise of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) based in Brockville, Ontario. The franchise was expelled from the EOJHL in June 2025, less than two months after it rebranded as the Bulldogs. Prior to its expulsion, the team had been on a leave of absence for the 2023–24 and 2024–25 EOJHL seasons.
The Bulldogs (then known as the Tikis) were almost dissolved in 2015, when the EOJHL restructured to streamline player development by directly associating the EOJHL teams in Junior B with CCHL teams in Junior A. This process included rebranding the league as the CCHL2, and reducing the number of teams in the league. The new ownership of the CCHL Brockville Braves bought the Tikis/Bulldogs and set up a player development affiliation with them, keeping the team in the new CCHL2.[citation needed] As of 2025[update], the player development affiliation remains, though the two teams no longer share ownership.[1]
In 2023, the Tikis were granted a leave of absence from the 2023-24 EOJHL season as the team owner worked to sell the team.[2] At the time, the team was expected to move as part of the sale.[3] The Tikis expected to return for the 2024-25 season, hosting prospect camps in Cornwall, looking for players to sign for the upcoming season. The team was then informed by the EOJHL that they remain on a leave of absence as they did not say they were returning quick enough and the EOJHL schedule had already been made and ice and busses were already booked.[citation needed]
In April 2025, the EOJHL announced the Tikis would be officially returning for the 2025-26 season and would play under the Bulldogs name, introducing a new logo.[1] In June 2025, however, the franchise was expelled from the league.[4]
