Sea~Hawks Make a Difference

Get with the program.

The Memorial University Sea~Hawks athletic program gives student-athletes an opportunity to continue their pursuit of sporting and athletic triumphs. At Memorial you’ll find male and female varsity sports teams in soccer, cross-country running, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and wrestling. These elite athletes compete in the Altantic University Sport (AUS) conference with champions heading to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championships.


As Sea~Hawks, our student-athletes embrace a responsibility to represent Memorial in the right way through making a positive impact in the community. By doing this our athletes are becoming more socially responsible and are gaining the experience needed to become future community leaders.
