"Voyageurs" is the name of the sports teams of Laurentian University, located in Sudbury, Ontario. They are members of Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and U Sports (formerly known as CIS).
History[]
The Laurentian Voyageurs hockey team started in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association (OIAA) sometime between 1958-59 and 1964-65 (the OIAA records for 1958-59 to 1963-64 are not yet available on Wikia) and remained there until the conference ended in 1970-71. In 1971-72 they joined the Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) once the Ontario and Quebec conferences were re-organized along provincial lines. The program folded after the 1999-2000 season. In 2013-14 they rejoined the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) conference.
As part of the university's plan to offset financial difficulties it would announce the cancellation of both the men's and women's programs as well as the whole swimming program in April of 2021.[1]
