"Lakers" is the name of the sports teams of Nipissing University, located in North Bay, Ontario. They are members of Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and U Sports (formerly known as CIS).

History[]

The roots of Nipissing University date back to 1947, when residents of North Bay formed a committee with the goal of establishing a university within in the city. The 1958 Northeastern University Committee continued their efforts in the following years. By 1960, Northeastern University was established. To ensure its funding as a university-level institution, Northeastern University signed an affiliation agreement with Laurentian University in 1967 and was renamed Nipissing College.

In 1972, the College Education Centre officially opened. This building, which is still home to Nipissing University, was shared between multiple other educational institutions including Canadore College, a school of nursing, and a teachers' college. In 1973, the North Bay Teachers' College was incorporated into Nipissing University as the Faculty of Education.

Nipissing University received its charter as an independent university in 1992, thus allowing the school to grant baccalaureate degrees. On December 12, 2001, the government of Ontario passed a bill revising the university's charter to permit it to grant graduate degrees.

The Nipissing Lakers hockey team joined the OUA conference in 2009-10.
