The Warroad Lakers were an American Senior team from Warroad, Minnesota.
The Lakers played in Thunder Bay Amateur Hockey Association and Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association in various senior and intermediate leagues and were granted special eligibility for the Allan Cup and Hardy Cup by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. The Lakers are three-time Allan Cup Champions, and one-time Hardy Cup Champions.
==History==
At the 1973-74 Hardy Cup Championships, the Lakers faced the Ottawa District Hockey Association's Embrun Panthers. The Lakers swept them 3-games-to-none to win their only Hardy Cup. Three years later, the Lakers faced New Brunswick's Campbellton Tigers at the 1976-77 Hardy Cup Championships, but fell 3-games-to-1.
The Warroad Lakers were only the second American team in Allan Cup history to be Canadian National Senior "AAA" Champions. They won the 1994 Allan Cup on home ice, the next year they won the 1995 Allan Cup in Stony Plain, Alberta, and then won the 1996 Allan Cup in Unity, Saskatchewan to become the only team in history to win three consecutive Allan Cups. A season later, the Lakers failed to defeat the Powell River Regals in the 1997 Allan Cup final, which would have given them four in a row if won.
All four of the Lakers' winning teams have been inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.
Prior to the 1996-97 season, manager & founder Cal Marvin announced that the Lakers fiftieth season would be their last.
