SIX NATIONS OF THE GRAND RIVER TERRITORY — The Six Nations Chiefs will begin their pursuit of a fourth-consecutive Mann Cup when they host the 2026 Canadian Senior A national championship at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.
The best-of-seven series against the Coquitlam Adanacs of the Western Lacrosse Association (WLA) begins Friday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m.
