The Perth-Andover Bearcats are a junior ice hockey franchise competing in the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL), with a National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) program built to move players to the next level. As the River Valley's home for junior hockey, the Bearcats deliver a player and fan experience that stands out, drawing Canadian, American, and international prospects to Perth-Andover, New Brunswick.

Led by General Manager and Head Coach Carter Bednarz, the Bearcats are built on three key priorities:

  • Putting a competitive team on the ice that the River Valley can rally behind.
  • Delivering a premier player and fan experience, both on and off the ice.
  • Advancing players to collegiate hockey, preparing them for success at the next level.

With strong community support and a relentless commitment to development, the Perth-Andover Bearcats are more than a hockey team. They are a source of pride for the River Valley and a program with a bright future in junior hockey.
