At the 1974 Hardy Cup, the Lakers faced the Ottawa District Hockey Association's Embrun Panthers.

The Warroad Lakers are only the second American team in Allan Cup history to be Canadian National Senior "AAA" Champions.

A season later, the Lakers failed to defeat the Powell River Regals in the 1997 Allan Cup final, which would have given them four in a row if won.

In 2003, the Islanders failed to get past the Ile des Chenes North Stars (who won the 2003 Allan Cup) in the Manitoba playdowns.

All three of the Lakers' Allan Cup winning teams have been inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.
