The St. Catharines Spartans franchise won the Founders Cup as Canada's Junior B box lacrosse champions in 1981 and 1996. In 2002, the Spartans were league champions again, but lost the national final to the Clarington Green Gaels.

Founded in 1979, as the Niagara-on-the-Lake Warriors, the Warriors won their league and the national championship in only their third season. In 1984, the team changed its name to the Niagara Spartan Warriors.

In 1994, the team shortened its name to just the "Spartan Warriors" and in 1996 won the league and national championships again. In the 1996 national final, the Spartan Warriors defeated the Orillia Rama Kings to win it all. After the 2001 season, the team changed its name to the St. Catharines Spartans.
