ORIGIN
Team Impact is a non- profit-wrestling club. The Team Impact Wrestling Club was formally called the Oshawa Olympic Wrestling Club (OOWC). The OOWC has been developing athletes in the Durham Region since 1973. In 1998, the OOWC changed its name to TEAM IMPACT and in 2000 Team Impact merged with the Metro Toronto Wrestling Association. Team Impact now serves the Greater Toronto as well as the Durham Region. We have been consistently placing athletes on the national and provincial podium for a quarter of a century.
