The Prairie Gold Lacrosse League, originally known as the Saskatchewan Major Box Lacrosse League, is a Junior B box lacrosse league in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada.
History
2016 Senior league champion Saskatoon Brewers became the first-ever PGLL team to compete in a Canadian Lacrosse Association national tournament, travelling to Leduc, Alberta to compete at Presidents Cup.
Expansion followed in 2017 with three new teams added in the senior division (Prince Albert Outlaws, Saskatoon Steelers, Saskatoon SWAT). A fourth Saskatoon team, the Plainsmen, were added before the 2018 season.
For the 2018 season the Regina Rifles and Regina Riot programs merged to form the Regina Rampage. The program dissolved after one year and the Rifles returned in 2019.
