History
Formed in 2010 as the Manitoba Gryphons, the team was the first Manitoba-based team to join the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League. After a two-year probationary period the Gryphons were granted full league membership for the 2012 season in which they finished 10-9-0, sixth best in the 10-team league. They Gryphons were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The Gryphons hosted Founders Cup 2013[1] in Winnipeg finishing in fifth place. The team would see ownership/management changes in the off-season and were renamed the Blizzard. The club also relocated from their original home in Oakbank to Notre Dame Arena and further to Maples Community Centre.
As the lone Junior B team in the province, the Blizzard annually represent Manitoba at Founders Cup. The team has played for the Bronze medal on four occasions falling short each time.
It hosted the Founders Cup 2019 in Winnipeg.
In 2024, the team was renamed the Winnipeg Blizzard to drop the "Manitoba" name at the provinces request.
The team went on to win the 2024 Larry Bishop Memorial Trophy in Airdrie, Alberta.
