The Brooks Bandits edged the Nanaimo Clippers 4-3 in overtime on May 22, 2026, to clinch their second consecutive Rogers BCHL Cup championship. The deciding moment came as forward Jack Good buried the overtime winner in front of a home crowd at Centennial Regional Arena in Brooks, Alberta, sealing a dramatic playoff run that featured four straight overtime games. Key goals in the final came from Jack Rosensteel and Liam Fitzpatrick, sustaining the Bandits’ late-game surge and securing the title on a tense, high-stakes night.
Throughout the series, the Bandits leaned on standout playoff performances, including Zach Zahara’s stellar goaltending. Zahara delivered a 43-save performance in Game 4, earning first-star honors, and helping the Bandits withstand Nanaimo’s challenge as the series shifted into extended play. The 2026 final thus reinforced Brooks’ reputation for overtime grit and clutch scoring as they repeated as champions.
