The Elora Mohawks are Junior "B" box lacrosse team from Elora, Ontario, Canada. The Mohawks play in the OLA Junior B Lacrosse League.
Probably founded in the 1960s, the Mohawks started out as the Fergus Thistles. In 1963, the team moved to become the Guelph Mohawks. In 1967 the team moved to Elora, Ontario and won the Canadian Castrol Cup in that year. They have bounced between the OLA Junior A Lacrosse League and the OLA Junior B Lacrosse League.
The 2004 Season ended with the Mohawks tied for first place in the West with the Spartan Warriors with a 17-3-0 record. Prior to the season, it was announced that the Mohawks were to also host the 2004 National Championship—the Founders Cup. The Mohawks opened up the Playoffs against the 8th seed Windsor Fratmen. The upstart Fratmen had barely squeezed past the Wallaceburg Red Devils into the last playoff spot and had stolen a big 8-7 victory from the Division leading Sarnia Pacers to even make the playoffs. The series was a mismatch from the start—the Mohawks swept the Fratmen in three games. The second round put them up against the Orangeville Northmen, which also resulted in a three game sweep. The Conference Final was against the Spartan Warriors, another easy three games. This set up a League Final between the Mohawks and the Clarington Green Gaels. In what had looked like a fourth straight possible sweep ended up going the distance. Despite crushing the Gaels in 2 of the first three games by scores of 16-4 and 12-1, the Gaels came back to win 3 of the last four games and upset the Mohawks for the league title.
