History


The South Side Lynx were founded in 2009. As with many expansion franchises, they struggled in their early years, never advancing past the first round of the playoffs until season three in 2011–12, where they were eliminated by Pownal Red Devils in the semifinals.

The Lynx appeared in the league finals for the first time in 2013, losing to Tignish in four games.

Two years later, in 2014-15 the Lynx won the league title, advancing on to the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship in Charlottetown. They defeated the MU Rhinos of the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League to advance to the final,[1] where they were defeated by Nunavut's Baffin Blizzard.[2]

After 20 games played in the 2018–19 the team ceased operations due to a lack of healthy players. After sitting out the next season the Lynx returned to the ice for 2020–21.
