From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the junior ice hockey team that played in the Western Hockey League from 1980-84 see Winnipeg Warriors.

The Winnipeg Warriors were a minor league hockey team that played in the Western Hockey League (minor pro) from 1955 to 1961. Due to financial trouble relating to their long traveling distances, the Warriors relocated to California and became the San Francisco Seals in the 1961-62 season.^[1]

The 1956 Winnipeg Warriors were the Lester Patrick Cup and Edinburgh Cup champions. Also the Team was inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in the team category.
