Waterloo Warriors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Waterloo Warriors are the athletic teams that represent the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. As a top tier academic university, Waterloo sports programs are not generally renowned for an outstanding tradition of success. That said, the Warriors have found success over certain spans in Football, Hockey, Rugby, Golf and Basketball among others, and the Warriors have won national championships in hockey (1974), basketball (1975), and women's swimming (1975). For many years from the 1960s through the 1990s, Warrior basketball games attracted the largest and rowdiest basketball crowds in the country.

Waterloo's teams were original known as the "Mules" after the school's founding in 1957, and for a while the women's teams were the "Mulettes", a name that was almost universally despised and ultimately replaced by "Athenas". Today the women's teams also use the nickname Warriors.
