The Can-Am Senior B Lacrosse League is a Senior-level box lacrosse league with teams in the Western New York and Central New York regions of New York State and southern Ontario in Canada, mostly on tribal reservations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Sanctioned by the First Nations Lacrosse Association, the champions of the Can-Am league compete for the Presidents Cup, the Canadian National Senior B championship. Can-Am teams have won the Presidents' Cup five times.
