PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- The National Lacrosse League (NLL) and Alterna Savings (Alterna), are pleased to announce the return of the Alterna Cup for the 2021-22 Season.

The partnership brings together one of Canada's most innovative financial institutions and the largest and most successful men's professional lacrosse league.

"We could not be more excited to have Alterna Savings return for the 2021-22 season as the Exclusive and Official Banking Partner of the NLL in Canada," said NLL Commissioner, Nick Sakiewicz. "The Alterna Cup will add an exciting twist on every matchup between our five Canadian teams and their loyal fans. Only one team will be able to claim the Cup and five competitive teams will be itching to win the title."
