The Lumberjacks have been around since 2022, impressively enough that is also the year they won the league championship. After an inaugural championship season, they almost made it back-to-back, appearing in the title game in 2023 but falling short. While the playoff format has been removed ahead of the 2026 season for a true showcase year, it is still important to understand the team’s expectations.
The most noteworthy fact about their roster construction is how many dual-threat players the Lumberjacks have. Whether it is the ability to play multiple positions at a high level or using natural ability to amplify effectiveness at a sole position, it is safe to say this team is stacked with talent for the 2026 season.
