Kitchener Kodiaks

Founded in 1967, Kitchener’s Junior A lacrosse program has been a long‑standing presence in Ontario’s lacrosse community, competing in the Ontario Junior Lacrosse League and playing out of the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Over nearly six decades, the club has developed elite talent and established itself as one of the province’s most respected junior franchises.

In 2025, the team rebranded as the Kitchener Kodiaks, unifying the Junior A club with the Kitchener‑Waterloo Minor Lacrosse Association and honouring the legacy of the former KW Kodiaks Senior A team. The Kodiaks name reflects a shared identity across all levels of lacrosse in the region and carries forward a tradition rooted in community, development, and competitive excellence.
