Issue

Reposted from Lacrosse Canada Founders Cup

The 2026 Founders Cup took place in Saint John, New Brunswick from August 16-22, 2026.

  • It should be no surprise that Brian “BB” Freeman’s name is near the top of the point leaders list following his big week. With 10 goals and 15 assists, a 25-point total puts him second place in the scoring race as he leads the Seneca Warchiefs into the playoff rounds. [August 21, 2026]
  • Brycin Jones waited until the end of the week to join the top scorers list after a four-point game Thursday. With 8 goals and 10 assists, his 18 points are second-most for the Seneca Warchiefs and eighth-most across all players. [August 21, 2026]
  • Everett Stevens is the third member of the Seneca Warchiefs in our point leader’s spotlight. His 16 points tied him for tenth-most at Founders despite seeing little playing time Thursday as his coaches elected to rest him ahead of the semifinals. [August 21, 2026]
