The Satans made their inaugural appearance during the 2017 Box Lacrosse League.[1] The first goal in franchise history was scored in Wallaceburg, during their first game at 2:21 in first period by Brady McDonald. The Satans won the game by the score of 11-6 over the Chicago Outlaws.[2] Haven Moses and Bobby Smith split the win in net.

They finished the 2017 BLL regular season with a record of 5-1 and faced the Chicago Outlaws in the 2017 BLL Semi-Finals, played at the Midwest Orthopedic Sports Center in Brookfield, Wisconsin losing the game by a score of 12-11.

Prior to 2017

Wallaceburg has been home to several other senior men's lacrosse teams. In 2016 Wallaceburg was the home to the OLA Sr. B Wallaceburg Thrashers[3] who moved to Wallaceburg from Sarnia where they were called the Sarnia Beavers.[4] Other former OLA Sr. B teams include the St. Clair Storm, who split games between, Wallaceburg, Sarnia, and Walpole Island.

Many other teams in Wallaceburg have played under the Satans banner, including both Senior B and Junior B teams in the 1960s and 1970s.
