Other teams from that time were Becker's Red Power, Mount Carmel and Gardiner Farms. The 14th Sodbusters disbanded in 1986 following sickness and retirement of members.
In 1992 Erich Freiter recruited some new, younger, local fellows and they named themselves the "14th Sodbusters the Next Generation". In 1992 they became affiliated members of the Ontario Amateur Tug-of-War Association. In 1994 the club restructured once more and amalgamated with the members of the Dashwood Pioneer Club and the McCann Redy-Mix Team. The name Bluewater Tug-of-War Club was then decided upon, representing the local geographic area.
The first few years, because of the many light weight team members, the club did not perform very well against the much heavier Catch Weight teams. The Bluewater Team was instrumental in getting a 720kg class established in Ontario. Since 1997 the Bluewater Team leads all weight classes, which now include a 720kg, 680kg and a 640kg Class.
The next big step in our clubs history was the addition of a womens team. In 1997 nine women formed the Bluewater Ladies Team, the first Women's team to join the Ontario Amateur Tug-of-War Association.
