History of the Caps
The Brandon College Caps started as a college hockey team playing in junior and intermediate leagues. They played in the Brandon Town League against junior teams, including (at least) the 1923 and 1925 provincial junior playoffs for the Turnbull Cup. In 1923 they lost the Brandon final to the Brandon Tigers by an 8-1 score. In 1925 they lost to the Portage Vics 8-2 in a provincial semi-final. The Caps were then in the Big Six Intermediate Hockey League (BSIHL) from 1949-50 to 1953-54. They were also in the SouthWest Hockey League (SWHL) in at least 1960-61 and 1968-69. Wikia results are missing for many seasons.

Brandon College played in the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (WCIAU) in 1955, 1957, and 1958. University hockey did not return to Brandon until 1969-70.
