The 2024 Minto Cup will be played at the Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex (AKA Palace on Poirier) in Coquitlam, British Columbia from August 17-25.
Canada’s National Junior A tournament will see two teams from the British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse League entered as the event’s host province, plus the postseason champions from both the Ontario Junior Lacrosse League & Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League (Alberta & Saskatchewan).
Last year, the Burlington Blaze beat the Coquitlam Adanacs in the Minto Cup’s best-of-three final in Edmonton. It was the Blaze’s first-ever Minto win, the tournament’s first new champion since the Orangeville Northmen won the national title in 1993.
Below see all of Canada’s Junior A series, schedules and scores from each province’s opening rounds right up until a new Minto Cup champion is crowned in Coquitlam.
