Nova Scotia Jr "C"

The Nova Scotia Junior C Hockey League is a Junior "C" ice hockey league in Nova Scotia, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The winner of the playoffs competes in the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships. The league plays 2, 15 minutes periods, and then the traditional 20 minutes in the third period. The league was founded for the 2004-2005 season as an evolution of the West Nova Junior C League

The Chester Clippers relocated Bedford for the 2013-14 season but the team was unable to work out a lease and subsequently relocated to North Sydney and they folded before training camps began.

The league lost two longtime members for the 2015-16 season. The Barrington Ice Dogs announced they were taking a leave of absence from the league. This caused the Clare Lions to also take a leave of absence due to the closest team being over 2 hours away. The Lions have stated they are intending to return to the league for 2016-17 but the loss of its nearby rival would not make playing practical for the 2015-16 season. The league also added two teams based out of the Halifax Regional Municipality for the season, the Bedford Wolverines and the Metro Jaguars.

The league added anouther team in the HRM for the 2016-17 season with the addition of the Eastern Shore Thunder who will play out of the Centennial Arena.  The Amherst Colts were replaced by the Cumberland-Colchester Colts who will be based out of the Colchester Legion Stadium.
