The Crushers originated in Halifax. As the Halifax Oland Exports, they captured the 2002 Royal Bank Cup on home ice. The franchise's name was changed to Team Pepsi for the 2003-2004 campaign. In the spring of 2004 the Weeks Hockey Organization bought the club, moved it to New Glasgow and renamed it the Weeks Crushers. After struggling to attract fans in Halifax's crowded hockey market, the Crushers soared up the attendance ladder in New Glasgow and is now one of the league's top draws.

The club hosted 2005 MJAHL All Star Game and the 2006 MJAHL Entry Draft. The Crushers will host the 2008 Fred Page Cup.
