Welland Generals

Founded in 2001 by William (Billy) John House and Louis Savona, the Warlords had two strong seasons from the start.

In the second round the Warlords faced the Six Nations Rebels, a team in which they finished tied with in the regular season standings.

The game was surrounded by controversy as the Warlords launched a protest with the Ontario Lacrosse Association over the use of an illegal player.

The decision was that the player was eligible only due to mistakes made by minor lacrosse Zone 9 and the OLA.

Following this season the Warlords captain, Kevin Floris, was named the Western Conference Most Valuable Player.
