The Three Nations Senior Lacrosse League (TNSLL) is a Senior B box lacrosse league based out of Ontario, Canada and sanctioned by the First Nations Lacrosse Association. The league champion earns a spot in the Presidents Cup, the national championship of Senior B lacrosse in Canada. There are presently four teams[1] in the TNSLL.

TNSLL teams have won the Presidents Cup title five times: (1994, 1995, 1997, 2011, 2012).

History

2013

Three teams made up the TNSLL, which played an inter-league schedule with the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League (QSLL) since 2009. Snake Island Muskies were the top seed in the Wally Roundpoint Memorial Cup playoffs. They would face the Caughnawaga Indians, who they narrowly topped for the top spot, in a best-of seven series. A 4-1[2][3] series win earned Caughnawaga Indians a spot in the Presidents Cup.

Notable players from the champion Caughnawaga Indians included the Thompson brothers (Jeremy, Jerome, Miles and Lyle) cousin Ty Thompson. Miles and Lyle went on to be named co-winners of the 2014 Tewaraaton Award[4] after their season with the University at Albany.

2014

The regular season included an 18-game schedule, each team playing the other six times. Snake Island Muskies (14-4) won the regular season, finishing just ahead of second place Akwesasne Outlawz (13-5). Caughnawaga Indians (7-11) and Tyendinaga Wolfpack (2-16) finished well behind the top two.

The best-of 5 championship series was won by Akwesasne after a thrilling four-games (scores: 8-9, 9-8, 13-9, 10-7) with Snake Island.

2015

With the Akwesasne and Caughnawaga both on hiatus, Snake Island Muskies (9-7) and Tyendinaga Wolfpack (0-6) played a inter-league schedule[5] against QSLL teams. The TNSLL championship was contested in a one-game playoff on August 8 at Deseronto Community Recreation Centre.

2016

Two teams (Caughnawaga Indians, St. Regis Braves) returned while three-time champion Snake Island Muskies went on hiatus. Tyendinaga changed their name from Wolfpack to Thunderbirds.
