The Bonnyville Pontiacs entered the AJHL as the league's ninth active franchise in 1991-92, adopting the Pontiacs name and logo originally used by the Senior A team of the same name in the 1950's.
The Franchise was awarded, along with the 1991-92 All-star game on June 1, 1991, leaving just two months for the new organization to find staff and players before puck drop. Ultimately, the short timeframe seriously hampered the team on the ice, as it finished a distant last, missing the playoffs. The Pontiacs would remain in last for two more years before finally climbing out of the basement, however the franchise has never really managed to separate itself from the bottom half of the league or division standings. Only in the last few seasons have the Pontiacs become a consistent winning team.
