The West Kent Steamers are a junior ice hockey franchise of the Maritime Hockey League based in Bouctouche, New Brunswick. The team plays its home games at the 1,100 seat J.K. Irving Regional Centre.

History

In April 2008 the owners of the Halifax Wolverines announced their plans to move to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Following a contest to come up with a name for the new team, the franchise was dubbed the “Bridgewater Lumberjacks.” However, by 2014 the Lumberjacks were struggling, and in serious jeopardy of being dissolved or relocated. In November 2014, the league temporarily took over the management of the franchise until a new owner was found. The club was renamed the “South Shore Jr. A Lumberjacks” in an effort to expand the fan base of the team to nearby communities. In 2023, the club relocated to Bouctouche, New Brunswick and rebranded as the West Kent Steamers.
