"Gaiters" is the name of the sports teams of Bishop's University, located in Lennoxville, Quebec. The Gaiters are members of the Reseau du sport etudiant du Quebec (RSEQ) and U Sports (formerly known as CIS). The Gaiters folded their hockey program after the 1981-82 season.

The team joined the Intermediate Intercollegiate Series in 1925-26 and remained until it ended following he 1938-39 season. After World War II they operated in the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference (OSLC) from its founding in 1949-50 to 1970-71. In 1971-72 they joined the Quebec Universities Athletic Association (QUAA) once the Ontario and Quebec conferences were re-organized along provincial lines. They remained there until the end of the 1981-82 season. In 2010-11 the Gaiters started a club program.
