History
The Penguins were founded in 2000, but East Hants has a history that dates back decades in junior hockey.
In 2007, the Penguins won their first league title and went on to the Don Johnson Cup Maritime Junior B Championships. They defeated the host Cumberland County Blues 7-2, Central West Junior Hockey League's Central Jr. Cataracts 11-2, New Brunswick's Madawaska 506 who played in Quebec all season 12-4, and the Island Junior Hockey League's Kensington Vipers 6-5 in overtime to finish first in the tournament round robin with a 4-0-0 record. In the semi-final, the Penguins again crushed Central 8-3 and in the final they defeated Cumberland County 2-0 to win their first and only Don Johnson Cup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
