SPORTS BRIEFS: Major N'Stars shut out by Six Nations

MAJOR NORTH STARS SHUT OUT
It was a rough start to the 2026 Major Series Lacrosse campaign for the Owen Sound North Stars, who took on the Six Nations Chiefs in the annual Bread and Cheese Game on Monday. The back-to-back-to-back defending champion Chiefs shut out the N'Stars, 12-0, in Six Nations. Doug Jamieson recorded the shutout in goal for Six Nations. While Chris Cloutier and Dhane Smith led the way on the scoresheet. The North Stars will look to earn their first win of the year on Monday, May 25, against the Rock in Oakville. The annual Bread and Cheese Game reflects a tradition that began during the American Revolution and the War of 1812, when Queen Victoria began an annual tradition of giving gifts to the Six Nations community, namely blankets, in appreciation of their allegiance to the British Empire. The custom ended with Victoria's death in 1901. In 1924, the Grand Council of the Six Nations decided to revive the practice, this time with gifts of bread and cheese to commemorate the close ties between the Six Nations and the British Crown.
