The Mississauga Braves Hockey Association was founded in
1982 as an offshoot of the AAA Mississauga Reps. The
organization originally played out of Dixie Arena, moving
to Cawthra Arena, then Tomken Arena, before finally
settling into its new home rink, The Hershey Centre.
In its 1982-1983 inaugural season, the Mississauga Braves
captured two Carnation Cup Divisional Championships and one
GTHL Championship that same season.
Current Association President & General Manager, Gord
Murphy, joined the Mississauga Braves in 1985 and now heads
a dedicated Board of Directors consisting of founding
member and current 1st Vice-President & Treasurer Rick
Rye, along with Mark Meyer, Sheila Meyer, Paul Iamundo,
April Kellie, Barry Carroll and Gary Camilleri.
Leading up to the 2007-2008 Season, the Mississauga Braves
have gone on to win some 34 Divisional Championships
(Carnation Cup / Promittere Cup), 23 GTHL Championships, 6
OHF Provincial Championships and 1 Ontario Winter Games
Championship.
The Mississauga Braves Hockey Association competes in the
GTHL AA West Division with some 170 players aged eight to
18 on ten teams. The Braves Association strives to provide
a positive environment for players to develop both hockey
and life skills, while enjoying the thrill and benefits of
competing in Canada’s national winter sport.
