| - Assumption and the University of Windsor donated the W.P. McGee Trophy emblematic of Championship in CIS Basketball. Rev. William C. McGee coached basketball, baseball, and football and is considered on of the first great basketball coaches at Assumption. From 1923 to 1939 McGee coached "The Fighting Freshmen", noted to be one of the best basketball squads ever to represent Assumption College. Assumption became Assumption University in 1955 and changed name to University of Windsor in 1964. In 1963 the college hosted the first Canadian intercollegiate basketball championship and became the first National Champion with a 55-50 win over Acadia. The team won the National Championship in 5 of the initial 7 years. In June 2001, the membership of the CIAU voted to change the name and logo of the organization to Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS).
- The University dates back to the founding of Assumption College Roman Catholic in Windsor, Ontario in 1857. In 1919, Assumption College in Windsor affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. It was granted university status in 1953. In 1956, the institution’s name was changed to Assumption University of Windsor. In December 1963, Assumption University of Windsor made affiliation agreements with Holy Redeemer College (now Académie Sainte-Cécile), Canterbury College (Windsor, Ontario) and the new Iona College (Windsor, Ontario, affiliated with the United Church of Canada). The University of Windsor came into existence on December 19, 1962. On July 1, 1963, the entire campus with all of its facilities and faculty became known as the University of Windsor. Assumption College competed for the Junior B Sutherland Cup in the 1930s. The Windsor Lancers hockey team started in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association (OIAA) sometime between 1958-59 and 1964-65 (the OIAA records for 1958-59 to 1963-64 are not available on Wikia) and remained there until 1967-68. In 1968-69 they transferred to the Quebec-Ontario Athletic Association (QOAA) and remained there until the conference ended in 1970-71. In 1971-72 they joined the Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) once the Ontario and Quebec conferences were re-organized along provincial lines.
