About The Jr B Regals
The Guelph Jr. B Regals are one of the teams in the 25-team Ontario Junior “B” Lacrosse League (OJBLL), a division of the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA).
Our organization has made tremendous strides both on and off the lacrosse floor in recent years and we are consistently seeing players graduate to play at higher levels in the sport.
In previous years, graduates of our program have gone on to play Junior “A”, Semi-Professional Lacrosse and in the National Lacrosse League (NLL).
The Jr. B Regals began operations in 1992 and is entering its 35th season in 2026. We provide a place for young men aged 17-21 to play lacrosse while learning life skills, such as time management, responsibility, teamwork, reliability, sportsmanship, and confidence.
Our Jr. “B” program is a not-for-profit corporation; all of our management and directors are volunteers.
Our History
The Guelph Jr. B Regals Lacrosse Club was founded in 1992.
In its first season of play in the OJBLL, the Regals played to a 9-11-0 (18 points) season record to place 7th in the league before bowing out in the first round of the playoffs.
The following year, in 1993, the Regals improved their record to 12-9-1 (25 points) and a 5th place league finish but once again fell in the first round of playoffs.
The club’s best season came in 2023 when they finished with 28 points and a 14-6-0 record during the regular season. Finishing as the #4 seed in the Western Conference, Guelph matched up with the #5 seed Windsor Clippers in the 1st round of playoffs, sweeping the best-of-5 series, 3-0. The Regals moved onto the 2nd round for the first time in franchise history to face the unbeaten Six Nations Rebels, who went 20-0-0 in the regular season. After dropping Game 1 in Six Nations, Guelph returned home to Vic Road for Game 2, where they handed the Rebels their first loss of the season with an 8-7 victory in overtime, tying the series 1-1. Despite close games the rest of the series, Six Nations prevailed and the Jr. B Regals bowed out of the 2023 playoffs with a 3-1 series defeat, ending an historic season for the franchise.
The closest the Jr. B Regals have come to a Founders Cup happened in 2008, the year they hosted the national tournament. Though they failed to qualify for the playoffs in the OJBLL that year, the Regals earned a berth in the tournament as hosts and played their way to the final game versus the Ontario winner Six Nations Rebels.
In that game, the Regals fell 8-7 to the Rebels to earn a silver medal as Six Nations captured their second consecutive national title.
