The Steinbach Pistons are a Canadian Junior "A" hockey team from Steinbach, Manitoba. They are members of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), a part of the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL).

During the 2009 Allan Cup in Steinbach, the city announced that the Beausejour Blades would relocate to Steinbach for the 2009-10 season. To encourage success team owner Mel Sonnenberg sold a portion of his club to local interests. The Team played out of the T.G. Smith Centre.

In August 2012, the community took over ownership, and the team would go on to win the league championship.

In the fall of 2019, Steinbach city council gave unanimous support to a proposal for a new $42.5 million arena and events centre in the downtown. Southeast Events Centre, a non-profit organization, made a presentation to city council about plans to build an 82,500 square foot facility on the site of the current Centennial Arena. The Pistons would need to relocate under the construction phase. The HyLife Center in nearby La Broquerie would become home for the 2023-24 season.
