The school also owns the Gales Ferry site, which is where the men’s heavyweight team trains for its Howard-Yale Boat Race.  Among the athletic teams of America, Yale’s crew is the oldest and is known to have won several Gold Medals in Olympic Games for men’s eight in 1956 and 1924.

Among the school’s many historical sports accomplishments is their holding the first ever ice hockey game in the U.S., played between John Hopkins and Yale in 1896. Due to this, the many ice hockey clubs of the school play commemorative games. Also during 1954 and 1982, Yale’s student organizations and residential college teams played the controversial bladderball game. It is the students from Yale University who claim to have been the inventors of Frisbee, which came about from the tossing of empty tins of Frisbie Pie Company.
The school mascot of Yale Bulldogs is Handsome Dan who is the official Yale bulldog since 1889, and is said to be the first ever college mascot in America. The college’s fight song includes the refrain bow wow wow bulldog, written by Cole Porter. The Bulldogs are supported by their own music group known as Yale Marching Precision Band, where ‘precision’ has been used ironically since the band plays scatter-style tunes running about wildly instead of marching. The band is present at each home football game as well as on the basketball and hockey games. Their games are not to be missed; so just grab some Yale Bulldogs tickets and be there to cheer for the invincible players.
