WILLIAMS LAKE STAMPEDERS

The current version of the Williams Lake Stampeders were formed in 1996. However, the previous incarnation of the Stampeders were the pre-eminate hockey team, and central form of entertainment in the community for more than 40 years, (1930's to 1970's). The first senior hockey team in Williams Lake was formed in the early 1930's. Tommy McDougall was the driving force behind the team from the start, and an important part of its early history. That first senior team was initially know as the "Lakers" and later became know as the "Stampeders".
