The Pontiacs entered the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) as the league's ninth team for the 1991–92 season, adopting the Pontiacs name and logo originally used by the Senior A team of the same name in the 1950s.

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 the start of the season.

The short off-season hampered the team on the ice, as it finished a distant last place in the standings and missed the playoffs.

The team continued to finish in the bottom half of the standings for most of the next two decades.

The Pontiacs were coached by Mario Pouliot for the 2022–23 season, and the team reached the third round of the playoffs for the second time in franchise history.
