Franchise history
1967-2022Westport Rideaus
2022-presentSmith Falls Jr Bears

The Smith Falls Jr Bears are a Junior "B" ice hockey team in Smith Falls, Ontario. The franchise originated as the Westport Rideaus and played in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL). Between 2014-15 and the end of the 2019–2020 seasons, the EOJHL and the CCHL set a new agreement in an attempt to create a better player development model. This resulted in the league re-branding itself as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2), and shrinking to 16 teams and two divisions. The league reverted to the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League for 2021.



August 2022, it was announced that the Junior B Rideaus were being relocated to Smith Falls and become the Jr. Bears. The junior C franchise that was re-locate from Bytown to Westport would continue the name Rideaus as they compete in the National Capital Hockey League.
