The Halifax Dockers formed when two Halifax-based Aussie expats, Jonah Scott and Joel Porter, met in 2009 and decided to go for a kick on Haifax Commons. Three years later our team of 25 meets twice a week to train. We are a partner club of The Fremantle Dockers Football Club based in Fremantle, Western Australia.
We are the founding and currently only club of the Nova Scotia Australian Football League (NSAFL). With the NSAFL we hope to grow the reach of "footy" in Atlantic Canada.
