The Owen Sound NorthStars are a Canadian Senior box lacrosse team. The team played in the City of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada and participate in the OLA Senior B Lacrosse League. As the Woodsmen they were two-time Presidents Cup National Champions, two-time National Silver Medalists, two-time National Bronze Medalists, and seven-time Ontario Lacrosse Association Senior B Champions.
Founded in 2001, the Woodsmen follow the Owen Sound lacrosse tradition laid down by the 1951 Mann Cup Champion Owen Sound Crescents and the four-time Presidents Cup champion Owen Sound North Stars.
Their first season was a success from the get-go. After coming in second overall in the regular season, the Woodsmen ended up winning the Playoff Championship in only their first season. The Woodsmen went to the Presidents Cup tournament as the Ontario representative and finished with the bronze medal.
In 2002, the Woodsmen again finished in second place with only three losses. In the playoffs, the Woodsmen won the playoffs for the second straight year and made their second appearance at the Presidents Cup but did not place.
The 2003 season saw the Woodsmen finish first overall in the OLA and win their third straight playoff championship. At their third straight Presidents Cup, the Woodsmen made it to the tournament final for the first time only to lose to the team they beat in the OLA final, the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks.
In 2004, the Woodsmen made the OLA Finals for the fourth straight year after a stellar regular season in which they only lost once in sixteen games. This year they met the upstart Barrie Lakeshores who shocked the three-time champions and won the league title. Barrie was promoted to Major Series Lacrosse the next season.
