The St. Thomas Tommies are the college sports teams of St. Thomas University (STU) in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The university fields six women's varsity teams and four men's varsity teams across six sports. Of the ten varsity teams, nine participate in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) as members of the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association (ACAA), while the women's ice hockey team participates in Atlantic University Sport (AUS) of U Sports.
Nickname
The name “Tommies” derives from the Edwardian term for a British private or “Tommy”. These soldiers would be called upon across no-mans-land, if German soldiers wished to speak to a British soldier. “Tommies” were known for their bravery and courage while travelling through the most dangerous grounds of the war.
