The Brandon University Bobcats are best known for winning four CIAU /CIS National Championships. However, the foundation for these championships was, in many ways, laid by four outstanding BU teams of the early 1980s. At the national championship tournament, the Bobcats captured a silver medal in 1980, a bronze in 1982, another bronze in 1983 and a silver in 1984, before breaking through with their first national crown in 1987. In that era, getting out of GPAC was a huge challenge and winning any medal at nationals was an even more difficult task. As it was, these Bobcat teams not only accomplished both things, but they ultimately set the table for what was to come.
