2025 Mann Cup Champions

The nine-time Mann Cup champions, the Six Nations Chiefs, are one of the most successful senior box lacrosse teams in Canada.

The Six Nations Chiefs, established in 1993, are a senior box lacrosse team representing the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario, Canada. Competing in Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) under the Ontario Lacrosse Association, they have become one of the league's most successful franchises. ​

In their inaugural season, the Chiefs laid the groundwork for future success by assembling a talented roster. This included players from the 1992 Minto Cup champion Six Nations team, such as Cam and Tim Bomberry, Miles General, Pete Skye, and Jason Johnson.

They were joined by seasoned veterans like Duane Jacobs, Tom Hawke, the Kilgour brothers (Darris, Travis, and Rich), Paul St. John, and lacrosse legend Paul Gait.

The team's dominance was evident early on, as they secured three consecutive Mann Cup national championships from 1994 to 1996. These victories came against formidable opponents: the New Westminster Salmonbellies in 1994 and 1995, and a sweep of the Victoria Shamrocks in 1996. ​

After a period without national titles, the Chiefs returned to prominence by capturing the Mann Cup in 2013 and 2014.

Their success continued with another championship in 2016, where they defeated the Maple Ridge Burrards in five games.
