Wally’s Warriors<\/strong> were an international street hockey team.<\/p>\n

They were introduced to the VASHL as an expansion\/mashup team for the 2015 tournament. The team was a tribute to Walter Gretzky<\/a> and the <\/span>Ontario Lung Association<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The club’s roster was made up of representatives of various VASHL teams.<\/p>\n

They were also one of the six VASHL franchises that participated in the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament<\/a>, as well as the September Classic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the COVID-19 pandemic and the passing of Walter Gretzky in 2021, Wally\u2019s Warriors became inactive, marking the end of a team founded on respect, camaraderie, and a shared love for hockey\u2019s legends. Their legacy lives on, remembered for their heartfelt tribute to Walter Gretzky and their championship-winning performance in 2015.<\/p>\n
