1992 Six Nations Arrows Minto Cup Junior A Canadian Champions

1993 Honouree Team, Lacrosse

In 1992, the Six Nations Arrows became the first Indigenous team to win the prestigious Minto Cup – emblematic of Junior Lacrosse supremacy for Canada.

Success in Minor Lacrosse - a Peewee A and a Midget A provincial championship and a Bantam A national Championship - were early indications greater things were in store for these young talented players. A few players spent three or four years away from their home community of Six Nations of the Grand River, to gain valuable experience in the Junior A circuit. It was during these years the Six Nations Junior B club worked to become a Junior A franchise.

In 1990, the Six Nations Arrows entered their first competitive season as a Jr. A team. In their first season, they did not make the playoffs and in their second season, they were eliminated in the Ontario finals by St. Catharines who went on the win the Minto Cup. In their third year as a franchise, the Six Nations Arrows won the Minto Cup.

Six Nations Arrows may not be the first, nor are they likely to be the last team, to win a significant sports championship, in only three years of existence. They got to hold ‘the Cup’ for a year but they will inspire players and teams on Six Nations for years and decades to come.
