In 2010, in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia, the Blues had a chance for redemption. In the first game of the round robin, the Blues clipped the host Bay Ducks 6–4. In their second game, they defeated the defending Jr. Caps 3–2 in an overtime shootout. The Blues third game was lost to the New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League's Charlotte County Jr. Silverkings 4–3, but they closed out the round robin strong the next day by beating the Island Junior Hockey League's Kensington Vipers 7–2 to clinch first in the tournament. On April 24, the Blues again played the Jr. Caps in the semi-final. The Blues again defeated them 3–2 to enter the finals. On April 25, in the final, the Blues beat the Bay Ducks 4–1 to clinch their first ever Don Johnson Cup as Maritime Champions.
