For the past 11 years the FDL HS Athletic Hall of Fame has been a great weekend of celebration with family & friends of the Hall of Fame inductions. Unfortunately the Covid 19 has changed our lives with the unknown future. The 2020 FDL HS Athletic Hall of Fame inductions have been delayed to the 2021 Hall of Fame weekend – that date TBD. We want family & fiends to celebrate together with no restrictions. At this time the 2020 induction plaques will be placed on the FDL HS Athletic Hall of Fame wall at FDL HS.
The Cardinal Athletic Alumni Association, Inc. would like to take this time to congratulate the 2005-06 WIAA State Girls Hockey Champion “Warbirds” team induction into the FDL HS Athletic Hall of Fame.

2005-06 Warbird Season Review
The 5th regular season for the Fond du Lac/Waupun girls hockey team ended with an impressive 19-4 overall record and their 2nd WIAA State Championship in 3 years.
Highlights included a 10 game win streak and the championship run that saw the WarBirds outscore their opponents 15 – 5. The WarBirds averaged 4.52 goals per game and allowed only 1.65 goals against. The power play was terrific, scoring 30 goals in 91 attempts while yielding only 9 goals in 99 tries to their opponents.
In 5 years, the WarBirds have compiled a 83 – 24 – 6 record.
