History

Announced October 16, 2011, the Excelsiors were admitted as an expansion team into the OJBLL for the 2012 season.[1][2]

On April 22, 2012, the Jr. B Excelsiors played their first game, at home, with an 11–6 win over the Hamilton Bengals.[3] The Excelsiors finished the season with a 4-16 record and did not make the playoffs.[4]

In their second season, the Excelsiors finished 10–10 and received the final playoff spot in their conference. In the conference quarter-final, they drew the undefeated, two-time defending national champion Six Nations Rebels. The Rebels won 15–5 and 17–5 to finish the Excelsiors' season and first playoff berth.[5]

The 2014 season was filled with a summer-long battle against the Welland Generals and Owen Sound North Stars for the final playoff spot in the West.[6] Even though the final rankings were not determined until the final weekend of the season, the Generals topped both Owen Sound and Brampton for the final spot.[7]

In the 2015 season, the Brampton Excelsiors were moved from the West division to the East division because Mimico's Jr B was folded and became a Jr A team after moving from Mississauga.
