Waterloo Region Minor Football to compete under new name of Junior Warriors

The University of Waterloo Department of Athletics and Recreation is proud to announce our partnership with the Waterloo Region Minor Football Association who will rebrand as the Waterloo Junior Warriors starting in the Spring of 2023. This partnership signifies a major step in connecting UWaterloo student-athletes with the minor football community in our region while strengthening the Warriors brand.

"We are very excited to secure this partnership with the Waterloo Warriors," said president of Region Minor Football, Matthew Price.

"Our Board of Directors, coaches, and players are all thrilled to associate ourselves with the Warriors brand. It will give our association more exposure outside of our region, further enhance our minor football program and strengthen our relationship with the Waterloo Warriors and the UWaterloo campus community. We look forward to continuing to grow youth football, providing greater access to resources that will help develop our players and coaches."

The partnership will provide many benefits to the athletes of the Waterloo Region Minor Football Association including:

Free tickets for all Junior Warrior players to all Waterloo basketball, football, hockey, and volleyball home games
Coaching clinics
Opportunities to meet and learn from current Warriors student-athletes/coaches
Discounts on Warriors fan gear, promotional items, etc.
Social media promotion of Waterloo Region Minor Football
And more

"This partnership is very exciting and important to our department and university as it helps showcase our Warriors brand outside of our campus," said director of athletics and recreation, Roly Webster.

"Not only will it give the Waterloo Region Minor Football Association a stronger connection to our Warriors student-athletes, but it will help in developing and retaining local talent in our region," commented Warriors football head coach, Chris Bertoia. "We look forward to seeing these young, promising football players wearing the black and gold while developing their skills on and off the field."

The partnership was made official on Thursday, December 15 in the Feridun Hamdullahpur Field House.
