History
In 2003, the junior 'B' Woodstock Slammers jumped to junior 'A' to become part of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League. After a rough first three years in Woodstock, the Slammers eventually won three MHL championships, a Fred Page Cup, and were the runners-up in the 2012 Royal Bank Cup. In 2018, after multiple losing seasons, the Woodstock Slammers organization applied for a one year leave of absence. Later in 2018, it was announced that the franchise would relocate to Grand Falls, New Brunswick, under a new ownership group. On June 6, 2018, their new name, the Grand Falls Rapids, was revealed.
