The Brampton 7Ups were a junior ice hockey team that played in the now defunct Metro Junior A League for two seasons, 1961-62 and 1962-63. The team was sponsored by a local distributor of the 7 Up soft drink. Brampton were previously a Junior B team prior to being promoted to the new league in 1961. Bob Savage was their coach for both seasons. The team folded along with the league in 1963.
[edit] NHL Alumni
Three alumni of the Brampton 7Ups went on to play in the National Hockey League, all of them were goaltenders playing a combined total of 106 NHL games.
- Alumni: Ken Broderick , Andy Brown , Lyle Carter
Although Andy Brown played in just 62 games in the NHL over the course of three seasons, he will forever be a part of NHL hockey history. Brown carries the distinction of being the last goaltender in the league to play without a protective mask, now a mandatory rule.
