2026 Larry Bishop Memorial Tournament

Welcome to Mavericks Country: Host of the 2026 Larry Bishop Memorial Tournament

The Mavericks Lacrosse Club is proud to welcome players, families, and fans as the Mavericks host the 2026 Larry Bishop Memorial Tournament in Innisfail, AB. Our community becomes the gathering place for the top Junior B teams from Alberta and Saskatchewan as they compete for the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League and Alberta Lacrosse Association titles. Every game played on our home floor brings one team closer to the Founders’ Cup—Canada’s National Junior B Championship—and we’re honored to share that journey with you.

About the Tournament

The Larry Bishop Memorial Tournament is the final playoff stage for Junior B lacrosse in the Prairies. It brings together:

• The Host Team — your very own Mavericks
• The RMLL North Division Champion
• The RMLL South Division Champion
• The RMLL East Division Champion

These four teams battle through a high-intensity weekend that determines who earns the right to represent the region on the national stage.

Tournament format delivers fast, meaningful lacrosse from start to finish:

• • Round-robin games to set the standings
• • Semi-final matchups featuring all four teams
• • A gold-medal championship game to crown the 2026 Larry Bishop Memorial Cup & Alberta Junior B Lacrosse Championship Winners

Every shift matters. Every goal counts. Every game pushes one team closer to the Founders’ Cup.
