SouthWest Cyclops

The team ownership was confirmed on June 19, 2011 and the team was scheduled to start play in 2012. The original Canadian Lacrosse League saw two teams in Brampton, the Inferno and the Peel Avengers, now the Niagara Lock Monsters, two teams in Six Nations, the Iroquois Ironmen and the Ohsweken Demons, and two teams in Oshawa, the Oshawa Machine, and the Durham TurfDogs.

On January 7, 2012, the Inferno played in the inaugural CLax game, defeating the Iroquois Ironmen 18-11 in Hagersville, Ontario.

In their first season, the Cyclops, then the Inferno, played a 14-game schedule and finished second in the league standings with a record of 8-6. The Inferno found themselves on the losing end of the semi-final by a score of 17-16 being defeated by the eventual Creator's Cup Champion the Ohsweken Demons.

In 2013, the Inferno recorded an identical record of 8-6 but slipped to number 4 in the standings. In the playoff picture, the Inferno were defeated by the Durham TurfDogs once again being denied a visit to the championship game.

In December 2013, after two seasons, the Inferno were renamed the SouthWest Cyclops and will play in Hagersville, Ontario out of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. In 2015, the team relocated to Paris, Ontario.
