The Cumberland Bandits are a Canadian Junior ice hockey team based in Cumberland, Ontario, Canada. They play in the National Capital Junior Hockey League.

History

In 2008, the ownership of the Casselman Stars and the town of Casselman were awarded a franchise within the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League. As a result, they sold their interests in the Casselman Stars to Claude Pothier from Navan. As of 2008, the team will be known as the Cumberland Bandits and will play their home game out of Ray Friel in Orleans. In 2010 Claude Pothier sold the franchise to the Bedard family.

In 2011 the team was purchased by Cumberland Businessman John Jacob. The Bandits have grown to include the Junior C team, 9 AAA Spring Hockey Clubs, 1 Richcraft Sensplex league Men's Team as well as a Senior softball team in Orleans. The Bandits Philantropic efforts are unmatched in Junior Hockey. For such a small organisation to raise more that $65k for various charities and families is truly a great feat for the community.
