*2012 Season: The Ontario Lacrosse League implements a goals for/goals against ruling when two teams are tied with the same number of points at the end of the season, AND the two teams have split the outcomes of their own games equally. Whitby was outscored by Six Nations 2 goals between their two games, hence giving Six Nations the 1st place seed in the tie-break and overall OLA-A standings.
*2015 Season: The Whitby Warriors update their team logo. The primary reason for the logo change is that the general manager of the Warriors felt the "logo was very similar to an NBA logo (Golden State Warriors) ..."[2]
