Founded in 1985, the Bisons were originally known as the Okotoks 85ers and played in the Southern Alberta Junior Hockey League. They moved to the Calgary Junior Hockey League in 1989 - changing to the Foothills Bisons one year later - before settling in the HJHL in 1991.
The Bisons have been the most successful franchise in HJHL history, capturing seven league championships, and representing the league in the Alberta Provincials eight times, finishing as provincial runner-ups in 2001, 2002 and 2012. Recently, the Bisons have frequently battled the Airdrie Thunder for dominance in the HJHL.
