Winnipeg Warriors
June 25, 2015
The Winnipeg Warriors were a professional minor league hockey team that played six campaigns in the Western Hockey League between 1955 and 1961. The Warriors’ big name was Bill Mosienko. The diminutive winger was a Winnipeg native who helped to launch the Warriors after completing a 14-year NHL career. At the time Mosienko retired from the NHL, he was the league’s 7th all-time leading scorer. He would go on to play four more seasons in the WHL, finally retiring in 1959 at the age of 38.
