University of Saskatchewan Athletics

Wall of Fame History

In the spring of 1907 the Saskatchewan Legislature approved the University Act creating the University of Saskatchewan. The initial classes were held in the Drinkle Building in downtown Saskatoon in September 1909. The history of sport at the University of Saskatchewan extends back to that inaugural academic year with the formation of inter-college competition and the appearance of a varsity hockey team.

In subsequent years as the permanent campus developed, so too did the number of inter-university sports teams with which student-athletes could compete. Through the years student-athletes at the University of Saskatchewan have competed in more than 20 sports, including badminton, basketball, bowling, boxing, cross country
