History

The Hunters were proposed by Kahnawake Minor Lacrosse in 2007 as local players had nowhere to play after graduating the minor levels. In 2008, the team ran as an intermediate squad before apply for Junior B for the 2009 season.[1]

The Kahnawake Hunters made their debut in 2009 in the Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League.[2] The Hunters expansion marked the first time a Kahnawake team was put together in Junior B in almost a decade.[3] In their first season, the Hunters finished with a record of 3 wins, 15 losses, and 2 ties.[4]
