The Chicago Jr. Bulldogs were a Tier III junior ice hockey team playing in the North American 3 Hockey League. The Bulldogs played their home games at the Canlan Ice Sports in Romeoville, Illinois.

History

After the Chicago Hitmen folded in 2012, their NA3HL affiliate went dormant. A year later, Ken Kestas purchased the franchise and brought it back as the Chicago Jr. Bulldogs.
After three increasingly poor seasons, the Jr. Bulldogs were purchased by Exceed Hockey Group, LLC. At the time, the group also owned the Minnesota Magicians of the NAHL and, other than a new logo and dropping 'Jr.' from their name, no further changes were made. Less than a year later, the franchise was sold again. The new owners, REB Enterprise, LLC, moved the team to Wausau, Wisconsin and changed the name to the 'Wausau RiverWolves'.
