The St. Malo Warriors are a junior "B" ice hockey team based in St. Malo, Manitoba. They are members of the Capital Region Junior Hockey League (CRJHL). The franchise was founded in 1963.
The team was a member of the Keystone Junior Hockey League until 2018. For the 2018–19 season the Warriors were one of five teams that departed the Keystone Junior Hockey League and established the Capital Region Junior Hockey League.
The Warriors have six league championships to their credit, first winning the KJHL title in 1995. The team first medaled at the Keystone Cup in 1997 when they claimed silver after losing to host Grenfell Storm in the championship game.
As KJHL champion, the Warriors traveled to Thunder Bay in 2009 for the Keystone Cup. They finished the round robin with one win in five games, failing to qualify for the medal round.
St. Malo hosted the Keystone Cup in 2013, losing all five round robin games.
The Warriors returned to the Keystone in 2018 as playoff runner-up along with the champion Peguis Juniors in a border battle with the Lakehead Junior Hockey League champion and runner up. They would win one of three games and did not qualify for the playoff round.
St. Malo Warriors claimed their first CRJHL title in 2024 defeating the Beausejour Comets in six games. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Warriors won four straight games to win their first league championship in 15 years.
