The Markham Ironheads are Junior "B" box lacrosse team from Ajax, Ontario, Canada. The Ironheads play in the OLA Junior B Lacrosse League.^[1]

History

The Ironheads are a relatively new team. The 2006 season was their fifth in the league and they have shown substantial growth, gaining access to the playoffs in their past three seasons.

Their first ever OLA Junior "B" game took place on April 20, 2002 against the Onondaga Warriors (now of the Iroquois league) -- a 20-9 loss.^[2] Their first ever victory came on April 28, 2002 against the Nepean Knights. In their fourth ever game, they beat the Knights by a score of 9-5.^[2]

They have yet to win a playoff round.

In 2010, the Ironheads moved to Ajax and play out of the Ajax Community Centre while retaining the "Markham Ironheads" name.^[3]^[4]

On one hot night in the summer of 2015, the Ironheads equipment manager Sean "Boa" Gillespie invented the "Seannie Shuffle". A hybrid dance/cleaning mechanism to wipe the floor of sweat and condensation while also getting players and fans to cheer uncontrollably. "Seannie Shuffles" are usually followed by a lengthy towel wave while full sprinting back to the bench.
