The 1966-67 Men's Basketball Gaiters were the first basketball champions at Bishop's University. The Gaiters' "machine" rolled through the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Athletic Association with a 15-1 record before triumphing over Ottawa and MacDonald in the league playoffs.

At the CIAU Championship in Alberta, the Gaiters lost their first game, but won the last two to gain the bronze medal.

The Quad celebrated the team as a "credit to themselves, their fans, and the university."
