[edit] History

The Red Devils are best known for coming out of no where in 2001 to win the Founders Cup National title. In 2001, the Red Devils were a true sleeper. After their first three season, Wallaceburg was developing quite well as a lacrosse team but showed no real threat towards winning any championships. They finished the regular season quite well with a 16-4-0 record, placing 2nd in the West. In the first round of the playoffs, they defeated the Welland Warlords 3 games to none. In the second round, they beat the Six Nations Red Rebels 4 games to 1. In the Conference Final, they beat the powerhouse Elora Mohawks, who did not lose a regular season game, 3 games to 2. In the series, the Mohawks actually beat the Devils 25-6 in Game 3, but when Elora forced a fifth and deciding game, both teams went the distance with the Red Devils coming out on top 12-11 in double overtime. Both the Red Devils and Scarborough Saints (East Champions) were crowned co-champions of Ontario unless one were to win the National Championship, then that team would also be crowned ontario champion. In the end, the Red Devils took home both trophies.
