| It all started
after a pickup lacrosse game in Toronto … over a
few pints, a group of Toronto Rock fans decided it would
be a good idea to challenge the fans of the Rochester
Knighthawks to a friendly game of lacrosse. In a few short

 The FANN Cup was named after the MANN Cup, which is
awarded to the top Canadian Senior team every summer.
September 2004 marked the MANN Cup's 95th year!
While the NLL's Champions Cup is like the Superbowl
of lacrosse (One game, winner takes all playoffs), the
MANN Cup is widely considered the Stanley Cup of lacrosse
(best of 7 series, long storied history).
