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.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]

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.[1][non-primary source needed]

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.[2][citation needed]

Championships

In 2006, the team went on a successful playoff run eliminating the Brandon Wheat Kings, Calgary Hitmen and Medicine Hat Tigers, before being swept in four games by the Vancouver Giants in the WHL Finals.[citation needed]
