[edit] History

From 1975 until 1986, the Kincardine Kinucks played in the Central Junior "C" and Grey-Bruce Junior "C" Hockey League. They won the league title in 1979. They made it all the way to the Clarence Schmalz Cup All-Ontario Final where they lost to the Bowmanville Eagles in a four game sweep. The team folded in 1986.

In 1994, Kincardine came back to the Junior "C" loop, now called the Western Junior "C" Hockey League. After taking three seasons to find their niche in the league, the Bulldogs won the league championship five of the next six seasons. In 1998, the Bulldogs made it all the way to the All-Ontario Championship but lost out to the Glanbrook Rangers 4-games-to-1. The Bulldogs are the defending 2006 Western Junior "C" Champions.
