History

The USPHL announced in May of 2025 [1] their foray into Canada with the addition of five new franchises, four from Canada. Two of the new franchises, both based in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, were owned by Ted Colley. [2] In June, the names and logos of both teams were revealed with the one from Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick being called the Eastern Charlotte Kingfishers. [3] The team organized an identification camp in cooperation with the St. Croix Seawolves, held at the Garcelon Civic Center in St. Stephen on the weekend of July 25-27.

In August 2025, before playing a single game, the franchise was acquired by the Connecticut Chiefs program, of Newington-CT, who operate a USPHL THF (Tier 1 Hockey Federation) program. As part of the outright purchase, the team was relocated to Biddeford where they will remain a member of the NCDC New England Conference's North Division and rebranded as the CT Chiefs North for the 2025-26 season.
