Queen's Golden Gaels
In 1882, two brothers from Ottawa, Fred and Jackson Booth, introduced Queen's athletes to the game of "rugby football," an older version of modern rugby and the game from which football at Queen's evolved.

As old as the school itself
The Golden Gaels are the football team of Queen's University of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The loyalty behind them is as old as the school itself. Seated in Celtic tradition, school spirit, and the incredible victories that they have won (every alum can tell of one game they've seen where the team has overcome incredible odds), they've come to symbolize for many not only Queen's, but Canada itself. Smaller, less recognized, yet able to compete with the big boys - and win - any day of the week.
