History

Scott Marianchuk created the current Yorkton Bulldogs team logo.

Yorkton Bulldogs have won the PGLL Junior Lacrosse Tier 2 championship twice (2008 and 2009).

On January 26, 2009, Bulldogs head coach, Darin Lanigan, resigned from his coaching duties. He was replaced by Joe Choptuik.

2014 was a difficult one for an inexperienced group, going 2-8-2[1] in the PGLL (sixth of seven teams). The team managed to score a league-low 81 goals in the regular season. Paul Toth led the team in scoring with 24 goals, 6 assists in just 9 league games. Goalie Louden Choptuik played every minute of every game for the Bulldogs, posting a 12.60 GAA.
