Six Nations Jr B Rebels Lacrosse Association

3 - Time Founders Cup (Canadian Jr B) Champions (1997, 2007, 2008, 2011)

Initially named the Six Nations Red Rebels. The Red Rebels follow in the tradition of the Six Nations Jr A Arrows . After years of success of the Arrows on the Six Nations Reserve, in 1996, it became clear that it was time to add a second tier of Junior lacrosse to the region. Current population base of 23,000 members.

The Red Rebels began operations in 1996 to compete in the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA).  The Red Rebels completed their Inaugural season in 7th-place of the OLA Jr B Western Conference with a record of 5 wins, 17 losses.

However, in just the 2nd year of operations, the Red Rebels had a memorable year. Finishing the regular season by winning the Western Conference with a record of 18 wins, 4 losses. Orillia Rama Kings would win the J. A. MacDonald Trophy as the Ontario Jr B Champions. However this was a year when both teams OLA Jr B Finalists' had qualified for the Founders Cup tournament. The Red Rebels would upset the heavily favoured, Orillia Rama Kings in the Founders Cup Final with a 9-7 overtime victory and the 1st Founders Cup title in their young franchise history.

The following season, the Red Rebels won their 1st J. A. MacDonald Trophy as the Ontario Jr B Champions in 1998. However, the Red Rebels would not complete the sweep as they were forced to play for the Bronze Medal as a result of a tie-breaking formula after the Clarington Green Gaels and the Iroquois Lacrosse Association (ILA) finished in a 3-way tie for first-place at the Founders Cup championship held in Akwasasne. The Red Rebels defeated the Edmonton Miners 12-10 to win the Bronze Medal that season. The Green Gaels would win the 1998 Founders Cup with a 13-6 win over the ILA in the final.

The Rebels would dropped the term "Red" from their name prior to the 2002 OLA Jr B Regular season. The Rebels made another run at a 2nd championship during the 2003 season as they won the Western Conference title. However, the Eastern Conference winners, the Barrie Tornado won the hard fought five-game Ontario Jr B championship series to claim the J. A. MacDonald Trophy and advance as the only OLA representative to the Founders Cup championship in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Barrie went on to win their 1st Founders Cup with a 16-8 win over Coquitlam Adnacs in the Final.

The Rebels did not made a serious run again until the memorable 2007 season. After start the regular season by dropping two of their first three games, the Rebels proceeded to go unbeaten in regulation time the rest of the season to finish with a 17-and-3 record for 1st-place in Western Conference. After sweeping the 8th-seed, Hamilton Bengals in the opening round, Six Nations found a tough veteran-laden Owen Sound Rams squad in their path. The Rebels took the opening game relatively easy, but in game two Owen Sound upset Six Nations with a 9-7 overtime victory. The series returned to the Gaylord Powless Arena where the Rebels proceeded to take game two 10-6 and game three 14-7 to advance to the Western Conference Final against the Windsor AKO Fratmen. Six Nations would sweep the series but it was not an easy task winning 6-4, 9-3 and 6-5 over the tough Fratmen to advance to the Ontario Final against the undefeated Clarington Green Gaels. The Green Gaels were perfect through the regular season (20-and-0) and reached the Ontario Final in the minimum nine games. The Rebels shocked the favoured Green Gaels by winning 8-6 at the Bowmanville complex of game one. Six Nations returned to the Gaylord Powless Arena and won game two 10-7 before being pushed to overtime in game three on the Green Gaels home floor. However, the Rebels prevailed to win 9-6 to claim their 2nd J. A. MacDonald Trophy as OLA Jr B Champions and the right to represent Ontario at the Founders Cup tournament in Kamloops, British Columbia. The Rebels were dominating throughout the tournament by outscoring the seven teams they faced by a combined 86-25 at the National Jr B Championships. The Rebels were crowned the best Jr B team in Canada following their 8-2 romp over the Coquitlam Adnacs to win the 2007 Founders Cup. This is the Rebels 2nd Founders Cup title in franchise history.

The 2008 season had high expectation of the Rebels this season and the team did not disappoint their fans as they completed their 1st perfect Regular season in franchise history by winning all 20 games to be seeded 1st throughout the OLA Jr B playoffs. Six Nations set a team record by allowing only 89 goals in the 20 regular season games which challenged the 1989 record of 84 goals allowed by the goalie tandem of Stephen Dietrich and Bob Watson of the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves. The Rebels road to their 2nd consecutive J. A. MacDonald Trophy was not as smooth as the regular season. Six Nations began with a 3-game sweep of Wallaceburg Red Devils. The Rebels won the 1st game of the next series against the Windsor AKO Fratmen. However, the Rebels calendar year of being perfect would come to an end on same August 15th that they had last felt the sting of a defeat as Windsor won game two 7-6 to tie the series at one game apiece. Six Nations would win the next two games 10-7 and 10-4 to advance to the Western Conference Finals against the red hot, Elora Mohawks. The Mohawks were riding a 13-game winning coming into the series. Elora upset the Rebels 11-10 in the series opener at the Gaylord Powless Arena and followed up with a 9-6 win at the Elora Community Centre to lead the series 2-0. With their backs to the wall, Six Nations played a more desperate game in Game 3 to come away with a 10-4 victory and snap the Mohawks winning streak at 15. Back in Elora the Rebels kept rolling with a 12-7 triumph to force a Game 5. Six Nations completed their comeback with a 7-6 thriller as Cody Johnson would net the series winner with 45 seconds left on the clock to advance to the Ontario Jr B Final against the Eastern Conference champion, Halton Hills Bulldogs. The Rebels won their 3rd J. A. MacDonald Trophy as OLA Jr B Final winners in four games to advance to the 2008 Founders Cup being held in Guelph.

The Rebels breezed through the round-robin portion of the Founders Cup tournament which was being hosted by the Guelph Regals. Six Nations defeated Longueil Patriotes 14-2, Port Coquitlam Saints 9-3, Saskatchewan SWAT 19-2, Calgary Mountaineers 9-3 and Calgary Chill 17-4. The Rebels met up with the PoCo Saints in the Semi-Final and came away with a 10-3 triumph which would set up an All-Ontario final against the host Regals. The Rebels jumped out to a 4-1 over the Regals during the first period of the championship game. However, the improved Guelph Regals battled back to tie the game midway through the third period a 6-6. Just when talk of overtime became part of the conversation, Rebels Torrey VanEvery put the Rebels up 7-6 and Rebels Gold Medal game MVP, Jeremy Johns would add the eventual game-winning-goal for a 8-6 with less than two minutes remaining. The Regals would add a goal at the buzzer for an 8-7 final. The Rebels became the 1st team since the 1994-1995 Orillia Rama Kings to win back-to-back Ontario and Canadian Jr B titles.
