Six Nations Rebels

After years of success on the Six Nations 40 Reserve, in 1996 it became clear that it was time to add a second tier of Junior lacrosse to the region.

This theory was proven when the Red Rebels won the National title, the Founders Cup in only their second year of existence by defeating the favoured Orillia Rama Kings 9-7 in a thrilling Overtime Gold Medal match at the Mimico Arena in 1997.

The Red Rebels met the host, Mimico Mountaineers and were pushed to overtime where they prevailed with a 7-6 win over a young netminder, Anthony Cosmo.

The Red Rebels forced to play for the Bronze Medal as a result of a tie-breaking formula after the Clarington Green Gaels and the Iroquois Lacrosse Association finished in a 3-way tie for first-place at the Founders Cup championship held in Akwasasne.

The Rebels made a run during the 2003 season, however, the upstart Barrie Tornado won the hard fought five game Ontario Jr B championship series.

After sweeping the 8th-seed, Hamilton Bengals in the opening round, Six Nations found a tough veteran-laden Owen Sound Rams squad in their path.

Six Nations would sweep the series but it was not an easy task winning 6-4, 9-3 and 6-5 over the tough Fratmen to advance to the Ontario Final against the undefeated Clarington Green Gaels.

The Rebels were dominating throughout the tournament by outscoring the seven teams they faced by a combined 86-25 at the Canadian Lacrosse Association Jr B Championships.

Six Nations Rebels were crowned the best Jr B team in Canada following their 8-2 romp over the Coquitlam Adanacs to win the 2007 Founders Cup championship held at the MacArthur Sports Center.

Six Nations completed their comeback with a 7-6 thriller as Cody Johnson would net the series winner with 45 seconds left on the clock to advance to the Ontario Jr B Final against the Halton Hills Bulldogs.

The postseason began with a 3-game sweeps of the Wallaceburg Red Devils and Windsor Clippers in the Western Conference Quarter and Semi-Finals.

This year was different as the Rebels needed 4 games to eliminate the Mohawks to advance to the OLA Jr B Finals against the Halton Hills Bulldogs for the J.

With more than 1,600 lacrosse fans watching the final game, the Rebels would claim a 10-7 victory to advance to the Founders Cup tournament in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Pool B had Calgary Mountaineers, Kamloops Venom, Manitoba Gryphons, Team Nova Scotia and Six Nations Rebels.

While Pool B finished Six Nations Rebels 3-0-1, Calgary Mountaineers 3-0-1, Team Nova Scotia 2-2-0, Manitoba Gryphons 1-3-0 and Kamloops Venom 0-4-0.

Tier II final saw Team Nova Scotia win the Six Nations Elected Council Trophy as they beat the SWAT 11-6.
