Nova Scotia
After missing the last Presidents Cup the Nova Scotia Privateers are back in 2017! The top players from all over the province will make the journey to Six Nations this year. These boys will stick together, I have played with them and I know they won’t go down without a fight!
Ontario
From the Ontario circuit you have the Six Nations Rivermen. They beat the Owen Sound North Stars in the Ontario Senior B final. That means two Six Nations teams at Presidents Cup 2017 in Six Nations. It’s gonna be a battle for everyone partaking.
Alberta
The 2016 Champions are back and looking to make it two in a row. Simple as that.
British Columbia
The Ladner Pioneers won against the Royal City Capitals for the BC championship. These boys are making the long trek to Six Nations with only one thing in mind.

The Can Am lacrosse league is not to be taken lightly. It’s a battle for that championship and the league has a lot of talent. The Native Sons beat the Pinewood Smoke in the finals to make it their second year in a row.
