Meet Brian Keller.

Brian is the equipment manager for the Camrose Bruins. What you may not know about Brian is that he is a six time NCHL champion, something not many (if any) associated with the NCHL can attest to.

Brian's career as an equipment manager started as a 17 year old, back in the 2000-2001 season with the Slave Lake Winterhawks. He stayed with the Winterhawks through their incredible 5 consecutive league championships (2002-2006) and one Provincial Senior A championship (2005) until he moved to Fairview in 2011. He returned to the Winterhawks in their final NCHL season (2016-2017).

In 2021-22, the Camrose Crush were formed and Brian became their equipment manager. That team went on to win the Vanberg Cup for Brian's 6th championship. He worked for the Crush again in 2022-23, and when the Crush were voted out of the league and replaced by the new Camrose Bruins, Brian again took on the equipment manager's job.

Now 40, Brian continues to enjoy being associated with senior hockey and has enjoyed his time in Camrose. Hopefully he stays involved and gets an opportunity for another championship!
