Moose Jaw Warriors

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 Mosaic Place. The franchise moved to Moose Jaw from Winnipeg after the 1983–84 season, where they had previously been named the Winnipeg Warriors.

The team has never won the WHL championship. The Warriors played in the Moose Jaw Civic Centre also known as "The Crushed Can" for 26 seasons, before moving to Mosaic Place in the city centre.

The Warrior's first head coach was Graham James. James was convicted of sexual assault against Sheldon Kennedy and one other WHL player and spent time in prison. In October 2009, former Moose Jaw Warrior great Theoren Fleury revealed he had been molested by James while a member of the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Famous quotes containing the words moose, jaw and/or warriors:

    I saw a guide-post surmounted by a pair of moose horns.... They are sometimes used for ornamental hat-trees, together with deer’s horns, in front entries; but ... I trust that I shall have a better excuse for killing a moose than that I may hang my hat on his horns.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is an old saying in the town that “most any fellow with a chaw in his jaw can sit on his front porch and spit down the chimney of a neighbor’s house.”
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Those who consider the Devil to be a partisan of Evil and angels to be warriors for Good accept the demagogy of the angels. Things are clearly more complicated.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
