The Moose Jaw Warriors are a major junior ice hockey team in the Western Hockey League based in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The Warriors play in the East Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Moose Jaw Events Centre.

History

The franchise was established as the Winnipeg Warriors, prior to the start of the 1980-81 season and played out of Winnipeg Arena, where they shared with the Winnipeg Jets.[]

The Warriors played in the Moose Jaw Civic Centre also known as "The Crushed Can" for 26 seasons, before moving to Mosaic Place, now renamed Moose Jaw Events Centre, in the city centre.[]

The first few seasons in Moose Jaw saw the emergence of Theoren Fleury as the team's primary offensive threat. Despite having a mediocre on-ice product, Fleury finished among the top five scorers in the WHL during his tenure with the team. Led by Fleury, Kelly Buchberger, Mike Keane, and Lyle Odelein, the Warriors made the franchise's first playoff appearance after the relocation during the 1985-86 WHL season.[]

The team has never won the WHL championship. The franchise made their first appearance in the WHL Finals in the 2005–06 season, getting swept by the Vancouver Giants in four straight games.[]
