The Six Nations Rebels Lacrosse Association is proud to present the 40th Anniversary of The Founders’ Cup for 2012.
The Best of the Best! Long heralded as the most competitive division in Lacrosse, first place Junior B Lacrosse teams from across Canada will descend upon the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory to compete for the coveted Founder’s Cup.

In 1972 the CLA (Canadian Lacrosse Association) inaugurated the first Founders’ trophy which commemorates the founders of organized lacrosse. While the game of lacrosse is famously known as the Creator’s game by Indigenous peoples, Dr. George W. Beers of Montreal Quebec is regarded as the Father of organized lacrosse and penned the first rule book. In 1867 Dr. Beers was instrumental in organizing the National Lacrosse Association (NLA) which has now come to be known as the CLA.
The proud and heralded lacrosse community of Six Nations truly believes that Haudenosaunee children are born with sticks in their hands.
