Third time is not the charm for the Peterborough Lakers as the Six Nations Chiefs have eliminated them in the Major Series Lacrosse finals for the third consecutive year, 12-7, in game five at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Monday night.

Six Nations took a stranglehold on the game in the first period, scoring four of five goals with Jordan Stouros getting the lone tally for the Lakers.

The second period was not much better as Six Nations scored another four goals, extending their lead. Peterborough scored twice in the frame from Justin Sykes and Braedon Saris but found themselves trailing 8-3 headed into the third stanza.

After letting in a goal 35 seconds into the frame, Peterborough made a push, scoring the next four of five goals to pull within three for a 10-7 game. Peterborough made their special teams work with a Taite Cattoni powerplay goal, then three shorthanded goals. Mike Robinson scored one while Sykes had a pair of them to complete the hat trick. However, a pair of power play goals from Six Nations including an empty netter sealed Peterborough’s fate to end their season.

The Chiefs will represent the East at the 2025 Mann Cup in New Westminster, B.C., against the New Westminster Salmonbellies. This is the fourth time that both teams will meet each other in the Mann Cup (1994, 1995, 2023 and 2025).
