The Moose Jaw Warriors are a major junior ice hockey team of the Western Hockey League which are based out of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The team plays its home games at the Moose Jaw Civic Centre. The franchise moved to Moose Jaw from Winnipeg after the 1984–85 season, where they had previously been named the Winnipeg Warriors. The team has never won the WHL championship. Currently, the Warriors are in talks with the city of Moose Jaw about building a new arena to replace the outdated Moose Jaw Civic Centre, commonly referred to as "The Crushed Can" by many, due to its dimensions.
