The **Cape Cod Islanders** were a [Tier III junior](/source/Junior_ice_hockey#Tier_III) [ice hockey](/source/Ice_hockey) team from [Massachusetts](/source/Massachusetts). They were most recently a member of the [North American 3 Hockey League](/source/North_American_3_Hockey_League) and played at the Falmouth Ice Arena in [Falmouth, Massachusetts](/source/Falmouth,_Massachusetts). In 2019, they announced they were relocating to [Canton, Massachusetts](/source/Canton,_Massachusetts), as the **Canton Cubs**, but were removed from the league schedule at the beginning of the season.

## History

The team traces its roots back to the minor professional team, [Cape Cod Cubs](/source/Cape_Codders), that played in the region during the 1970s.[2] The current team was founded as the **Cape Cod Cubs** in 2008 and joined the [International Junior Hockey League](/source/International_Junior_Hockey_League) for the 2009–2010 season.[3] The Cubs won back to back IJHL Super Elite League titles in their first two seasons in the league.[4] In 2011 the Cubs became the **Cape Cod Islanders**.[4]

For the 2012–13 season the Cape Cod Islanders were a founding member of the Northern States Hockey League (NSHL). The Northern States Hockey League became the second hockey league sanctioned under the [Amateur Athletic Union](/source/Amateur_Athletic_Union) (AAU). The league left the AAU in 2014 and became the [North American 3 Eastern Hockey League](/source/North_American_3_Eastern_Hockey_League) (NA3EHL), managed by the [Tier II](/source/Junior_ice_hockey#Tier_II) [North American Hockey League](/source/North_American_Hockey_League), while seeking [USA Hockey](/source/USA_Hockey) sanctioning, which they were given in 2015. Prior to the 2016–17 season, the Islanders became part of the [North American 3 Hockey League](/source/North_American_3_Hockey_League) (NA3HL) when it absorbed the NA3EHL.

In 2019, the Islanders relocated to [Canton, Massachusetts](/source/Canton,_Massachusetts), as the Canton Cubs[5] and hired [Geoff Walker](/source/Geoff_Walker_(ice_hockey)) as the head coach and general manager.[6] However, Walker then took the job with the [Western States Hockey League](/source/Western_States_Hockey_League)'s [Bellingham Blazers](/source/Bellingham_Blazers_(2012%E2%80%93))[7] and the Cubs named Johnny McInnis as the head coach.[8] The team was removed from the NA3HL before playing in Canton.[9]
