Calling all Waterloo Warriors alumni and families! 🏒

We’re working to bring a little Warriors history back home.

If you have an old Waterloo Warriors jersey from the 70s, 80s or 90s tucked away in a closet, basement or storage bin, we’d love to hear from you! We’re looking for jerseys to display in our locker room and help preserve the history of Waterloo hockey for future generations.

❤️💙 Have one you’d be willing to donate? Send us a message!

And please share this post - you never know who might have a piece of Warriors history hiding away!

🏒 House League Hockey Registration is Open! 🏒

Before registering, please make sure you have a Crossbar account. You can create a new account here:

https://accounts.crossbar.org/signup

As part of WYHA's transition from SportsEngine to Crossbar, all registrations will now take place through our new platform. If you haven’t created your Crossbar account yet, please take a few minutes to do so before registering.

If you already have a Crossbar account through another organization, simply sign in with your existing account - there’s no need to create a new one.

We made the move to Crossbar to provide a more modern, user-friendly experience for our families, with improved registration, communication, scheduling, and team management.

Ready to register?
