History
Ostend Tigers
The original team were the Ostend Tigers. They merged with the Izegem Redskins to form the West Flanders Tribes.
West Flanders Tribes (2001-2012)
The team is the continuation of the former West Flanders Tribes which split up into the Ostend Pirates and the Izegem Tribes.[1][2]
2014 season
The Pirates started off their first season very strong. Ostend won their first match-up against their former West Flanders Tribes teammates from Izegem Tribes with an 8-12 score.[3][4][5] They finished in the semi-finals against the Ghent Gators who would win the Belgian Bowl.[6][7]
