ThePictou County Crushers are aCanadianjuniorice hockey team based inNew Glasgow, Nova Scotia. They are in theMaritime Junior Hockey League's Eastlink South Division along with five other clubs. The Crushers play their home games at thePictou County Wellness Centre.

The Crushers originated inHalifax. The franchise, under various names in Nova Scotia's capital city, holds the MHL (formerly the MJAHL) record for most championships with 10. As theHalifax Oland Exports, they captured the 2002Royal Bank Cup on home ice. Due to financial reasons, the team's name was changed toHalifax 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 Pictou County Weeks Crushers. The team's name and logo are tied to its founding sponsor, Weeks Construction.

After struggling to attract fans in Halifax's crowded hockey market, the Crushers soared up the attendance ladder in New Glasgow and are now one of the league's top draws at the gate.

The Crushers hosted the 2005 MJAHL All-Star Game and the 2006 MJAHL Entry Draft.

In April 2008, the Crushers were theFred Page Cup host team. They shocked everyone as the underdogs defeated the defending FPC championPembroke Lumber Kings 4–1 in the championship game. With the victory, the Crushers advanced to their first everRoyal Bank Cup, in Cornwall, Ontario. They went 1–4 at the RBC, losing the semifinal game 3–0 to theCamrose Kodiaks.

In November 2012, the Crushers moved out of their former homeJohn Brother MacDonald Stadium that they used from 2004 to 2012 and into the new Pictou County Wellness Center.

The Crushers won their first Kent cup in 2016 defeating the Dieppe Commandos in the final, they have also come close back to back years (2010,2011)by making it to the finals but they lost both times. In 2010 they lost to theWoodstock Slammers 4–1 and, in 2011 they lost to theSummerside Western Capitals 4–0.
