The 2025 Minto Cup will be played at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario from August 16-23.
Canada’s National Junior A tournament will see the host St. Catharines Athletics automatically entered into the Minto, while Ontario Junior Lacrosse League, British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse League, and Rocky Mountain Junior A Lacrosse League (Alberta & Saskatchewan) postseason champions will also compete for this year’s Cup.
Last year, the Coquitlam Adanacs beat the Orangeville Northmen 2-0 in the tournament’s best-of-three final, marking the first time a Minto host has won in their own arena since the 2015 Six Nations Arrows.
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 St. Kitts later this August.
All times below ET.
