The Estevan Bruins are an ice hockey team playing in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The team is based out of Estevan, Saskatchewan and plays at the Estevan Civic Auditorium.
Originally founded as the Humboldt Indians, the team moved to Estevan in 1957. The team was a founding member of the Western Hockey League in 1966. They won the President's Cup in 1967-68. In 1971 the WHL Bruins moved to New Westminster, British Columbia, where they became the New Westminster Bruins. Today that franchise is the Kamloops Blazers. However, a new Bruins team was founded in Estevan that same year, which has played in the SJHL ever since. The Estevan Bruins have been Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champions on two occasions, in 1985 and 1999.
