St. Thomas Tommies is the nickname of the athletics teams at St. Thomas University (Canada) (STU) in Fredericton, New Brunswick. 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. STU basically shares the campus with the University of New Brunswick and hence some of the facilities. The women's hockey teams is a member of the Atlantic University Sport. The basketball, soccer, volleyball, cross country and women's rugby teams are members of the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association, while men's rugby compete in the Maritime University Rugby league.
