Rookies Jordan Martin, Jeff Bronetto, and Robbie Lloyd represented the Bruins in the Rookie Game, in which the East Rookies defeated the West Rookies 9-8.

Home Arena

The Bruins play out of the Fultonvale Arena at the Strathcona Olympiette Centre (SOC) located in Strathcona County.

"With a capacity of approximately 400 spectator seats and additional standing room around the arena, SOC is one of the largest and brightest facilities in the CJHL. The arena features a fully functional Air Horn and rotating lights above the scoreboard used every time the Bruins score a goal. The facility features a full sized ice surface and miniature ice surface roughly a 1/3 the size of a regular hockey rink. Adjoining the arena, a five-sheet curling rink complete with its own lobby and lounge. Along with a fully functional kitchen located upstairs, SOC is one of the premier multi-purpose facilities located within Strathcona County. The main ice surface features a full sized centre ice Strathcona Bruins logo, one of the few arenas within the Edmonton area to have that privilege (Rogers Place is the only other arena displaying a logo to that magnitude). In the future the Bruins are looking to add their own private dressing room to accommodate the players, along with a fully functional fitness facility to be located within the arena to be used by the Bruins Junior Hockey Club, and the players and parents who frequently use the facility".
