The Wainwright Bisons are a Junior "B" Ice Hockey team based in Wainwright, Alberta, Canada. They are members of the North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League (NEAJBHL). They play their home games at Peace Memorial Multiplex.
Since the 1990-91 season the Wainwright Bison have one league championship which they won in the 2001 playoffs. The victory advanced the Bison to the Russ Barnes Trophy championships which is the Alberta Provincial Jr B Championships featuring eight teams. The Heritage and Capital Hockey leagues qualify their playoff champion and playoff finalist, while the Calgary Jr B, North West, and the North East Hockey leagues send just their playoff champions. The final team is the team selected to host the tournament event.
In 2013, Wainwright was the Russ Barnes host and as such participated in their second Provincial Championship.
