Saskatchewan Huskies

Overview
"Huskies" is the name of the sports teams of the University of Saskatchewan which is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Their home ice is the Rutherford Arena. They are members of the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (CWUAA) and U Sports (formerly known as CIS).

History
The U of S started play in the senior and intermediate series of Saskatchewan. As was customary in that period, they continued doing so after university play had started. They did not win any national titles in that early era but did get to the 1923 Allan Cup final, where they lost to the Toronto Granites. The winner of that series was to be Canada's rep at the 1924 Olympics.

In 1918-19 the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Alberta played in an exhibition series which led to the formation of the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (WCIAU) the following season.

The U of S has iced a hockey team in every western university hockey season from the beginning in 1919-20.

In 1962-63 the WCIAU changed its name to the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WCIAA, or WIAA). The Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (as it then was) started the University Cup in 1963.

When the WCIAA split in two following the 1971-72 season, the University of Saskatchewan became a founding member of the CWUAA, along with the University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, University of Calgary, and University of Alberta. A GPAC merger and new programs added new opponents at the University of Manitoba, University of Regina, University of Lethbridge, Mount Royal University, Grant MacEwan University, and Trinity Western University. Victoria and Lethbridge have since departed.
