The Amherst Ramblers are a Junior A Hockey League team based in Amherst, Nova Scotia. The team is a member of the Maritime Hockey League and are in the Bent Division. All home games are played out of the 2,500 seat Amherst Stadium. The season usually runs from mid-September to early March every year.
[edit] History
The Ramblers entered the league when it was known as the Metro Valley Junior Hockey League in time for the 1968-1969 season. The league, then a junior B league, was eventually renamed the Maritime Junior A Hockey League.
The Ramblers have been known by two different names over the years. They have been called the Amherst Mooseheads from time to time. The logo consisted of the letter "A" and the moose from Moosehead beer. The logo was similar to the current Halifax Mooseheads logo.
The team is also known to draw some of the largest crowds in the Maritime Hockey League, and have placed 3rd in average attendance the last few years, only behind the Yarmouth Mariners and the Weeks Crushers.
The Ramblers hosted the Centennial Cup (now known as Royal Bank Cup) in 1993, but they were unable to capture the title.
