Nearly three years after winning the Mann Cup, the Peterborough Lakers will finally raise their 2019 championship banner as Major Series Lacrosse resumes play in June after a two-year absence.
On Thursday, the Lakers announced their 2022 senior men’s box lacrosse schedule which will feature a 17-game schedule consisting of nine home games and eight road games.
The team will take to the Peterborough Memorial Centre floor on Thursday, June 2 at 8 p.m. to open the 2022 MSL season versus the Cobourg Kodiaks. It will be the first Lakers game at the Memorial Centre since their 2019 home opener after floor renovations forced the team to move games to the Evinrude Centre.
Then the 2020 and 2021 seasons and respective Mann Cup championships were all cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Lakers won the 2019 Mann Cup in September 2019 by defeating the Victoria Shamrocks four games to one in the best-of-seven series. It was the Lakers’ third-straight national championship which pits the winner of the MSL versus the champion of the Western Lacrosse Association.
