| Dear Subscriber We now have 4 weeks of the season behind us and together with the PLL
we have played 303 lacrosse games. This weekend gives us a chance to
pause as there are no games scheduled for the long weekend. We all need
the break considering we played 52 games during Lacrosse Weekend.
Speaking of Lacrosse Weekend, by all accounts it was a huge success. We
were very fortunate to have 6 teams from Thompson join us for 18
exhibition games. There were also a number of field games played on the
Tyndall Park site with teams from Sagkeeng, Powerview and Winnipeg High
Schools. We also had some great competition for the skills events; check
the website for
photos of the winners showing off their plaques. Tournament Announcements
May 27 - 29th: Riley Schau Memorial Novice Tournament
June 3rd - 5th: Sidewinders Annual Peewee Tournament
June 10th - 12th: Shamrocks Bantam Tournament
An opportunity for further play is The Wolverines travel team. They are
again putting together a Bantam and Midget contingent to travel to
Calgary on the Canada Day long weekend. This is the largest Indoor
Lacrosse tournament in North America. If you are a Bantam or Midget
player and are interested you can contact
Donna McCartney .
Still further summer playing opportunities are The National Tournaments for Peewee (E.G. Dopp Trophy) and Bantam (Commissioner's Trophy) that will be held in Whitby and Burnaby respectively the first week of August. Tryouts have already been held for these 2 teams, you can contact the Manitoba Lacrosse office for further info. We hope you have enjoyed your lacrosse-free weekend and get rested up for the second half of the season! Sincerely yours, Your WMLA Newsletter Team |
