The Peterborou­gh Century 21 Lakers home opener will take place Thursday, June 13, against the Brooklin Lacrosse Club at the Memorial Centre.

Major Series Lacrosse released its 2024 schedule on Tuesday. It includes 12 Lakers games starting with two on the road June 3 against the Oakville Rock and June 6 versus the Brampton Excelsiors.

All but one of the Lakers’ six home games will be on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. The Lakers have a rare Tuesday home game on June 25 against the Owen Sound North Stars. They will play twice at home that week, also suiting up on their regular Thursday evening, June 27, versus the Six Nations Chiefs.

Other home games include June 20 against Oakville, July 4 versus the Cobourg Kodiaks and July 11 against Brampton.

Other road games include June 16 in Cobourg, June 22 at Owen Sound, July 3 versus Brooklin and July 9 against Six Nations.

The MSL readjusted its playoff format this year, meaning that playoffs begin mid-July instead of the first week of August. Playoffs will consist of three rounds.

The first round of playoffs will be a best-of-five series. First place earns a bye, while second plays seventh, third meets sixth and fourth faces fifth. The semifinals and final will continue to be best-of-seven series.

The MSL champion will host the 2024 Mann Cup. The Chiefs won the 2023 Mann Cup ending the Lakers’ historic streak of four consecutiv­e Mann Cup titles.
