Presidents Cup (box lacrosse)


The Presidents Cup is the national Senior-level box lacrosse championship for the Canadian Lacrosse Association. The annual Championship awards a "Gold", "Silver", and "Bronze" placing. The skill levels have been adjusted in recent years; Senior "B" teams from across Canada now compete for the Presidents Cup. Senior "A" is now represented by Ontario's Major Series Lacrosse and the Western Lacrosse Association, who compete for the Mann Cup.

History

There have been three trophies used for the Presidents Cup championships. The original trophy was known as the Castrol Oil Presidents Trophy and was awarded to teams from 1964 until 1971.
In 1972, a new trophy was donated as a replacement and the old Castrol Oil trophy retired. The second trophy was in use from 1972 until 1995 when it too was retired. While the original Castrol Oil trophy was donated to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1979, the second trophy was put into storage and became forgotten. Its existence was completely unknown to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame until the Canadian Lacrosse Association contacted the hall in late 2016 when it was found in their storage, which was donated to the lacrosse hall in February 2016. The original trophy underwent restoration work in 2015-2016 however the second trophy is still in need of some repair.
The current trophy was donated for use starting in 1996 and has the following inscription: "Donated by the Iroquois Lacrosse Association and the '95 Presidents Cup winners, the Akwesasne Thunder, in honour and memory of the late Frank 'Tewisateni' Roundpoint, "Grandfather of Lacrosse", Akwesasne Mohawk Nation."
