The Montreal Junior Lacrosse League (MJLL) is a Junior B box lacrosse league. The teams are located in Quebec and one in Vermont. The league was formed in 2014[1] to help fill a void of junior lacrosse in the area.

History

Four teams competed in the inaugural 2014 season, which began in late May. The Vermont Jr. Voyageurs (6-0) finished undefeated in the regular season[2] to earn a playoff bye into the championship series. Second-seed Montreal Shamrocks (4-2) defeated Kanehsatake (2-4) in two-straight games (12-1, 13-3) to advance. In the best-of 3 final, Vermont won Game 1 at home 11-7. Game 2 was played in Montreal, with the Jr. Voyageurs clinching the first-ever MJLL title with a 11-6 victory.
