History

Before joining the Niagara "C", the Terriers played in the Golden Horseshoe Junior B Hockey League.

The Terriers' logo originally had a silhouette of a Scottish Terrier on it up until the early 1980s. Since then, despite the name of the team, the logo has shown an image of an English Bulldog.

In the Summer of 2010, the "Terriers" changed their name to the Dunnville Jr. Mudcats. The Mudcats are the name sake of the former Senior B team from town called the Dunnville Mudcats.
