Senior Series Lacrosse is a Senior C box lacrosse league based out of Ontario, Canada sanctioned by the Ontario Lacrosse Association. SSL teams compete for the Legends Cup league championship.
History
Formed in 2019,[1] Senior Series Lacrosse was formed to fill a void between Senior B (full-contact, very competitive) and Masters (non-contact) box lacrosse.[2] Senior Series Lacrosse offers players an opportunity to continue playing competitive full-contact lacrosse after Junior without the time commitment of Senior A or B levels. SSL play modified CLA rules with games taking place at a single site over a weekend. Playing multiple games on the same day, teams play two 20-minute halves instead of three periods.
Five teams (Huntsville Hawks, Lakefield Rage, London Blue Devils, Peel Region Tigers, Six Nations Tomahawks)[3] competed in the inaugural season playing 14 games over four weekends. Teams are seeded with the four top teams advancing to the league playoffs. Champions are awarded the Legends Cup.
