- OUR JOURNEY
THE U ON THE ROAD
Across the highways of Western Canada, our athletes learn discipline and unity — proudly representing Lethbridge United.
In 2025, we introduced our Lethbridge United team bus — a mobile classroom and family room on wheels. Every trip becomes a lesson in leadership, fostering friendships, and strengthening the bonds of The U.
Each season brings new milestones — from playoff pursuits to alumni success — based on teamwork, resilience, and the belief that the journey matters as much as the destination.
“The road connects us, and with our new bus, we stride into the future.”
