Bulldogs moving to Brantford

The OHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs are relocating to Brantford, beginning next season. The Bulldogs said in a release that the move was necessitated by impending renovations and the long-term closure of Hamilton’s FirstOntario Centre. The arena also hosted the NLL’s Toronto Rock and the CEBL’s Hamilton Honey Badgers. Brantford was home to the OHL’s Brantford Alexanders from 1978 to 1984.
