Peterborough Lakers (MSL) - Rivalries

Rivalries

The Lakers biggest rival are the Brampton Excelsiors. They have met in the MSL Finals every year since the 2002 season, often finishing 1st and 2nd overall in the regular season. Meeting each other so often in the playoffs, compounded by many of the players playing on rival teams in the National Lacrosse League, have created many intensely contested matches between the two teams. Despite players coming and going between the two franchises, the rivalry has lived on, if not on the floor, then most certainly in the stands.

A rivalry also exists with the Six Nations Chiefs, particularly after the 2011 emotional MSL semi-finals where tempers flared amongst fans and players alike.
