The Edmundston Blizzard are a Junior A hockey team scheduled to begin play in the Maritime Junior A Hockey League with the 2017-18 season. The team will be based out of the Jean-Daigle Centre in Edmundston, New Brunswick.

On November 2, 2016 the league announced they approved the relocation of the Dieppe Commandos to Edmundston, New Brunswick for the 2017-18 season. The team moved into the Jean-Daigle Centre. The facility seats 2,400 and opened in the fall of 2017.

History

The Moncton Hawks were New Brunswick Junior Hockey League Junior A champions in 1981, 1982, and 1983.

In 1983, the Moncton Hawks abandoned the faltering New Brunswick Junior Hockey League and joined the Metro Valley Junior Hockey League which until then was a Nova Scotia-based league.

In the summer of 2008, the Moncton Beavers moved to neighbouring Dieppe and became the Commandos. The Commandos hosted the 2009 Fred Page Cup.

The Blizzard won the 2017-18 MJAHL playoffs and qualified for the 2018 Fred Page Cup where they finished 3rd out of 4 in the round robin and lost to the Longueuil College-Francais in the semifinals 5-1.
