Liverpool Privateers were a Canadian Junior ice hockey team from Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The Ducks play in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League and are the 2006 Don Johnson Cup Maritime Junior B Champions.

History[]

Founded in 2005, as the Bay Ducks have been one of the more dominant teams in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League. In their first season, the Ducks made it all the way to the NSJHL final where they lost to the Antigonish Bulldogs. Due to Newfoundland electing not to send a champion to the 2006 Don Johnson Cup the Ducks were allowed to take the NL seed. Taking full advantage, the Ducks started the tournament with a 5-1 win over the host Kensington Vipers. They then dropped a 1-0 decision to the Island Junior Hockey League Champion Sherwood Falcons. In their final round robin game, the Ducks defeated Antigonish 5-3 to clinch first in the round robin (2-1-0) and a bye directly into the tournament final. The Ducks again met Antigonish in the final and dispatched them 5-3 to win their first and only Don Johnson Cup.

The team was sold during the 2014 off season and relocated to Liverpool and were renamed the Liverpool Privateers.

Relocation to Bridgewater[]

On July 7, 2023 the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League announced the realocation of the team to the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia for the 2023-24 season replacing the South Shore Lumberjacks of the Maritime Junior Hockey League who had relocated to Grand-Bouctouche, New Brunswick for the 2023-24 season.[1] On July 13th the team announced they would assume the tradition Bridgewater Junior South Shore Lumberjacks moniker.[2]
