OHSWEKEN, ON – The Peterborough Century 21 Lakers season has come to an end after a 12-7 loss to the Six Nations Chiefs on Monday night at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. 

 

The Chiefs won the best-of-seven Major Series Lacrosse finals 4-1 and will represent the East at the 2025 Mann Cup, to be held in New Westminster, BC beginning September 5.

 

It is the third year in a row the Chiefs have defeated the Lakers in the Finals.

 

Trailing 9-3 in the third period, the Lakers looked poised for one of their patented comebacks, scoring four times including a pair of power play goals, plus a goal from Justin Sykes right off a Jake Withers’ faceoff win, but the Chiefs were too powerful to overcome.

 

Sykes and Braedon Saris led the Lakers with two goals each, while Taite Cattoni contributed five assists. 

 

The Lakers would like to thank their fans, sponsors, volunteers and everybody else who cheered us on this season. We’ll be back next summer even stronger.
