Clare Lions



The Clare Lions are a Junior "C" team in Clare, Nova Scotia. They play in the Nova Scotia Junior C Hockey League.

They were admitted to the league in 2005. In 2006-07 & 2007-08 they finished in first place in the Western Division. The Lions lost the league final in 2006-07.

In 2008-09 the Lions finished in first place overall but lost the league final. They finished in first in the West in 2009-10. In 2010-11 the Lions again lost the league final.

The Lions hosted the 2011 Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships and won the tournament.

On August 6, 2015 the team announced that they were sitting out the 2015-16 season due to the impact of the Barrington Ice Dogs suspending operations for the 2015-16 season. This caused the 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.
