The Valley Wildcats are a junior A hockey franchise based in the Annapolis Valley. The team is a member of the Maritime Junior Hockey League and plays in the Eastlink Division.
History
The Bulldogs were founded in 1967 as members of the Antigonish-Pictou-Colchester Junior B Hockey League. After two seasons the league became the Northumberland Junior B Hockey League. In 1974, the Bulldogs became a founding member of what became the Eastern Junior A Hockey League, but returned to the Northumberland League in 1975. The Bulldogs would win league titles and provincial titles in 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985. They would also win the Don Johnson Cup as Atlantic Junior B Champions in 1983 and 1984, the first team to ever win the Cup back-to-back. In 1987 they jumped to the Metro Valley Junior A League, which became the MJAHL in 1991.
The Shipbuilders were known as the "Antigonish Bulldogs" for 40 years. After it was decided that operating in Antigonish, Nova Scotia was no longer viable, the franchise was sold to a Metro Halifax group and then relocated to that city in the summer of 2008. The team's nickname, then, as "Halifax Lions" was announced on August 22, 2008. The name is a tribute to the successful Halifax Lions teams of the 1980s.
In 2010, the team was relocated to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and renamed again as the Metro Marauders. Then just 2 years later it was renamed the Metro Shipbuilders
In 2013 it was announced that the Halifax Regional Municipality would be losing Jr A hockey due to low attendance rates in the area. The name of the team will be, the Valley Jr A Wildcats and the place it will move to will be either, Berwick, Nova Scotia or Kentville, Nova Scotia.
