Zach Hyman, a forward for the Edmonton Oilers, has taken a significant step in his post-playing career by leading a group to purchase the Brantford Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). This acquisition was officially announced by the OHL's board of governors and signifies a new chapter for the Bulldogs, a team that returned to Brantford for the first time since 1984.

The Bulldogs are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 21 wins, 15 losses, and 4 overtime losses. The team is also exploring a long-term lease with the city that may include plans for a new arena, reflecting its commitment to the community.
