Re: right on

by Tristan (Login radicallacrosse)

What tender are we talking about? The one that wears the purple jersey (uses the Wall goalie stick) or the one that wears the black jersey (uses the woodie)?

The black jersey goalie seems to be a hockey goalie, he tries to go down into the butterfly position, and leaves his stick up. I saw 4 goals scored five hole on him in one game.

The goalie that was wearing the purple jersey was pretty good. The only weak spot I saw on him was glove side, just below his glove.

Overall they are both pretty good, but I found the one wearing the purple jersey and using the Wall goalie stick was the better of the two.

wears a hockey goalie helmet. designs on it.
he wasn't bad, little slow on the 5 hole tho, wouldn't call him a hockey goalie, but i guess he has played goal in hockey, there was some cross over moves

Refs...

by Braves Coach (Login lax4all)

Don't play "the blame game" on refs... you see what they are clling and you guide you team.
Barrie is short players and that won't win games...

B for sure there.

Halton Hills should stop the appeal and just get into the A loop. They are far better than B.
There 2 team should be B but they just can't shut up...and walk to the box all game long.

Anyone else see that?

Re: Refs...

by Toronto Stars (Login radicallacrosse)

I wasn't playing the blame game with the referee's. They were just bad all around, however, I have to give kudos to the two referee's who did the Toronto Stars/Sault Ste. Marie game. They both did a great job, after a ridiculous game between Midland and Halton Hills.

There's no way Halton Hills should have lost the game, but they did. The officials were giving penalties, non-deserving to the Bull Dogs players left, right, and center. I'm not a player, not a parent, nor am I affiliated with Halton Hills at all, but to be honest, they were screwed over BIG TIME. How does a Halton Hills player get a slashing penalty, when he had the ball in his own crease, and received a slash in the shin? How about this call... Halton player has the ball in his end, runs down the floor, has a semi break away, takes a shot and gets nailed for something stupid, interference or something like that.

Needless to say, it was brutally obvious Midland was the HOME team.

I heard there was a brawl between the two teams, Midland and Halton Hills in the parking lot... was there any truth to that?

Re: Refs...

by xxref (Login xxref)

I have a cure to the supposed referee problem that all losing teams seem to have. Let's use the system hockey used only make it more restrictive. If a team takes over 36 minutes in penalties in a game with GM's costing 10 min. against your total,all other penalties to be their value then the coach is suspended for the next game. Then let's put in the qualification that if this happens 3 times in a season then the coach is suspended for the rest of the season and the team is ineligible to attend Qualifiers and/or Provincials that season.
Nothing keeps peoples feet on the ground better than having a little responsibility piled on their shoulders.I'll bet the game cleans up in a hurry when the coach finds out HE is going to be held accountable for the continuous parade to the penalty box and the PARENTS find out their son or daughter has no place to play because no coach or organization will sign them because they lead the penalty box parade and may be the leading cause of coach suspensions and the subsequent ban of a team from Qualifiers and/or Provincials.
Parents have the player 8760 hours a year. The coach has the player maybe 6 hours a week for 16 weeks. The referee might see the player for 2 hours in a season.
Stop putting these problems out on the floor and expecting the referee to clean it up for you.

Midland did not have a brawl with anyone
It was only those bozo's from Halton Hills who were causing all the crap after The Intermediates were beat by Midland they all went over to watch there Midgets get whipped also. Well seems it must have been the refs fault in that game also imagine that. Then they started up with the Fans of the team that was kicking the snot out of them no big brawl the Cops came and got things under control.

Re: INT A teams?

Not really sure how that works... we only lost to Clarington by two goals with around 9 or 10 runners... we were missing our two leading scorers, one is in BC for the U19 Worlds, the other was suspended, and two other pretty good players because of suspensions. We also had about 5 or 6 players who are injured right now.

We play them again on Wednesday, and I guess we will see how we match up against them again with closer to a full team.

We lost to Whitby by a bigger margin of goals twice. If the Gaels are going A, then so should Whitby, however I believe both should be B teams.

Good luck in A ball Gaels.

as for spartans, i still don't understand why they still chirp so much (or rather why you chirp so much). guess we'll see how they fare in conradi

all true, we did beat hamilton 5-4 on an open net, it was a team loss. the coach is appart of the team, it was his choice to pull the goalie...not exactly a smart move..even we thought that, but we never really saw that as a win, more of a tie, but we did notch a W on our board. and for the tournament, drunk or not, hamilton had no game against us, and they also lost to orillia before hand, which we beat aswell. i'm not saying weer soo much better than hamilton, but better enough to win the game, its all about the little mistakes i say. penalties, timing, shots, it all takes into account. by the way. is hamilton hitting up A or B?

How 'bout them chiefs

by lax fan (Login laxfan420)

Alright we know burlington and spartan have some hostility but leave that for the floor, i just was asking if burlington deserves to go "A" because if every 3 teams in each zone went "A" that would mean 30 "A" teams at provincials haha... but every team wants to play "A",so say top 2 teams from each zone want to play thats still 20 teams,to many for provincials to host,so say top 15 teams go what gives burlington a shot, why they should go besides giving 1 team a golden path to the championships any takers? MG7 OR BTENDER

IMO the top teams are:

Brockville
Clarington
Peterborough
Toronto Beaches
Spartan
Brampton
Halton Hills
Oakville
Orangeville
Toronto Stars
Whitby
Geulph
London
Windsor
Owen Sound
Hamilton
St. Catharines
Mimico
Barrie (previous champs)
Burlington

please help me cut it down to 15 teams

St. Catharines - doesnt even belong near this list
Windsor - Always sand bag and beef up when fratment are out
Brockville - who have they played? Their the only team that isnt C in their zone pretty much


And put the folowing teams on the buble
Owen Sound - solid club but iffy
Burlington - Probably deserve to be A
Clarington - If they can do that well with 9 runners imagine 18

not bad, i'd say

by big lax guy (Login BTender30)

ok, i like it, its pretty much down pat to a thread.
but i can't see how you put oakville up in A and not burlington, when burlington was beating them the whole game in the brampton tourney with 10 runners,the back-up in net and oakville had a fully stocked bench, mind oakville did have their midget tender, but i think he's better than their INT goalie anyway. just a curious thought....and burlington to, like clarington, are not playing fully benched in tourney's. not all games anyway, even still, not all players make it out.
that being said, i guess alot of teams can say this.
and oakville lost to orillia, which burlington tied that tourney, and beat in orangeville
anywho, pretty dam good look at the teams tho
doesn't windsor always use a junior goalie after juniors?

Funny/odd ref story...

by O (Login ovillelax1)

The following happened, at the time it wasn't so funny, but looking back now as there was no goal scored I can see some humour.

-Ref puts arm up for a delayed penalty on Team A
-Team B has ball so goalie is pulled for extra man
-Team A wins ball back, ref puts arm down and play continues
-Team B frantically rushes goalie back into net on the fly
-Team B asks ref later what happened? Ref states that he forgot number of offending player so he just put his arm down!

Seen this kid play twice and the kid has all the tools, never heard of him before. Big, can score and the word here in Nations is that he can handle the rough stuff. A must see! Can play for me anytime.
Anyone know anymore about this kid? All I know is he plays out of Welland.

so i'm guessing there are all A divisions...and i don't think orangeville should be there. they aren't wat they should be. i have personally seen a short benched team of 10 runners contend with orangeville in the 1st, it would have been 1-1 if the goalie didn't move on a save, the ball rolled in when he did so, so it was 2-1 orangeville. but like any good math, an equal team with more legs, will eventually win the game. and they did so, slightly fair and more so squars, but could have been a trapazoid tho

Brampton Tyke Coaches

by laxfan (Login Canada_Lax)

To the Brampton tyke coaches, you all need to grow up and show some class and respect for the game of lacrosse and the people surrounding you. The language you used tonight on the floor in front of 7 year old kids is totally unacceptable, and the needless whining and complaining about the calls made it a very frustrating game to watch. When my brother comes out of the room and asks me why they act like that, I can't even respond because I have no idea myself. Also, be aware that this attitude rubs off on your team, and it showed tonight. Cut out the crap, and enjoy the game. Remember, these are TYKES for God Sakes!

That's funny I could say the same thing about the Novice Mimico parents

by Tom Cowton (Login tc9lax)

Pretty bad when I, as a coach, was challenged by a father watching the game because of a high stick call. We didn't dispute the call and all the parents were out to kill the kid who did it, accidently by the way. Tough to explain to a crying 8 yr old why parents are yelling at him to get out of the game and calling a 1st yr player a goon. Other than the last 1/2 of the 3rd it was a great game. Good job to both teams.

by Bailey Quarters (Login BaileyQuarters)

first experience with 30 second clock and you hear them screaming shoot the ball with 23 seconds left on shot clock and the kid hasn't crossed half yet...lololol Parents screaming at every possession call. Parents screaming at every missed pass etc...

Last night we had an Intermediate game right after a Novice game, our boys were watching this and heard the screaming parents and started laughing at what they sounded like, I reminded them that, they're less than 10 years away from being the same morons, they all laughed....time will tell.

We have played them twice and I completely agree with you.
Especially the one with the slicked back hair.
He goes off the wall, I feel very bad for the young referees he is ussually blasting. He argues and yells for a call every time someone gets touched with a stick.

alot of parents who coach

by Tom Cowton (Login tc9lax)

are like this, I am from Brampton and by no means am I defending this coach because I have no idea who it is, but parents who are on the bench and working the door, who have never played before are very very frustrating to listen to. They will do exactly what you said and scream about every "missed" call and half of them even chirp me or our novice kids. very frustrating and too be honest I am kinda proud of myself for not spraying them w/ water lol

Hamilton

by sunfire22 (Login sunfire22)

Just wondering why Hamilton keeps getting overlooked for A ? They beat Guelph, they handle St Kitts in all games, they have beat Six Nations 1, and have won two tournaments (dont count the Milton one). If they beat these teams I have to wonder why St Kitts even is considered, they are not overly strong. They have a decent box record of 17-3 all be it not all strong opponents but still decent. Just asking.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know?
I thought they were supposed to be released on Monday or Tuesday. I think it's a good sign they are taking extra time if that's the case - is there an official 'release date and time' for the minor OLA ratings?

Owen Sound Dustup!

Lacrosse players cry as parents fight at tourney
Posted By Sun Media
Posted 1 day ago


OWEN SOUND — No one was physically hurt and no charges were laid by police, but the parents at the centre of a melee during the Harry Kazarian Memorial Minor Lacrosse Tournament will not escape punishment.

The tournament’s chair and its referee-in-chief both spoke on Monday about novice-aged lacrosse players from Orillia and Sarnia who cried as their adult mentors fought during a Saturday night game at the Owen Sound Coliseum.

“You’ve got nine- and 10-year-old kids on the floor in tears because they could see their parents having a fight behind the boards,” said referee-in-chief Terry King, who’s been involved in the local lacrosse scene for decades as a player, coach, referee and parent.

“I know (the Ontario Lacrosse Association) will take it very seriously. They certainly don’t tolerate this kind of stuff.”

“It’s pretty sad when you’ve got children sitting on the floor, crying, because their parents are idiots and fighting behind the bench,” added Kazarian tournament chair Wendy Cathrae.

“It’s not the kids, it’s not the sport of lacrosse. It’s the parents. . . maybe they need to keep (the parents) out of the arena and let the kids play their games.”

Neither King nor Cathrae were at the game, won 6-1 by Sarnia, but King said he was told by the game officials that it had been “a bit chippy” throughout and words had been exchanged between the two coaching staffs. King and Cathrae said things got out of hand after someone from the Orillia bench threw a water bottle at the Sarnia bench.

“I guess it just escalated from there,” Cathrae said. “From what I understand, one of the Orillia coaches left the bench and started to get into an argument with a parent behind the bench and then all of a sudden everybody was there.”

The players benches and spectator viewing area at the Coliseum are on opposite sides of the arena from one another, but nothing prevents people from moving from one side to the other or from congregating in the vicinity of the benches. There is also nothing to stop people in that area from entering or exiting the benches.

City police officers were called to the scene but didn’t lay charges against anyone, They couldn’t determine who had done what, Sgt. Sandra Green said on Sunday. They remained to keep the peace as the game ended and the crowd dispersed.

King filed a special incident report to the OLA on Monday and was preparing a more lengthy account of the melee, based on interviews he conducted with game officials. He said the association, once it receives his second report, “will have to deal with the coaches that left their players bench to get into an altercation with spectators.”

He did not know when that would happen but said he expects the coaches from both teams will be suspended indefinitely pending a final decision by the OLA.

Minor lacrosse officials in Orillia and Sarnia could not be reached for comment on Monday.

Cathrae said she hopes the Kazarian tournament, a popular annual event that attracted 48 teams from across Ontario this year, won’t suffer because of this.

“It’s a really good tournament but, because of an incident like that, it just makes it look. . . it’s bad for the sport,” she said, adding there had never been a similar problem in the event’s history.

“And looking at the game sheets this morning before I sent them to the OLA, there wasn’t one other problem in any division. Usually people think, well, the intermediate division is going to be the one that has the problems. We never had one problem.”

If anything, she said, the intermediates provided some inspirational moments. The Owen Sound team, which she said “has been struggling for years,” won its pool championship. The other intermediate pool featured a club from Clarington that, despite showing up with only nine runners and a goalie due to university exams, advanced to overtime in its championship game.

“They played unbelievable. A really nice bunch of guys,” Cathrae said. “Those are the things that we need to dwell on.

“But people don’t remember all of the good things that happened. The thing that will be dwelled on is, ‘did you hear about the novice parents fighting?’ And it’s too bad. I guess we deal with it and hope it never happens again.”

It was a pathetic scene .... coaches should be suspended for 10 years !!!
There were coaching staff and parents ( both fathers and mothers ) in what resembled a bar room brawl while their innocent children stood and cried until someone was finally able to escort the children to their dressing rooms. It was the most PATHETIC scene that I have ever witnessed in my entire sports career.

Owen Sound

by (Login Jim.Bell)

Although it was not a proud moment for the game of lacrosse. And it's true that a few of the players were in tears, but only due to the energy level that took place.

As someone that was there, at no time were the players on the floor in danger, at least from the parents, and coaching staff.

The ruckus was between the coaches from the Orillia team, and the parents of Sarnia. Then between the Parents from both.

Reading and listening to the different accounts of this incident that have been floating around the last few days is getting stupid.

As someone who has written an opinion column for a newspaper, I realize what it takes to generate interest. Printing, or broadcasting events second, third or even forth hand shouldn't be held as holding much water.

Was this going to blow over with-out comments, nope! I'm surprized it took this long to get on this forum.

The events of the weekend were not a reflection on the Owen Sound Tournament. The events if all those involved had to do it over, the out-come would be totally different.

The Parents from Sarnia should not have went over by the bench area, the Orillia coaching staff should not have advanced towards the parents. (One coach left the bench to tell the parents to go back to the seats)

Were the players shook up over the events, yes. Some not all. Did the parents, from both centres, as well as the coaching staff from Orillia take the game away from the players? Yes! This game is all about the players that play.

As much as it has been said that is happened in a Novice lacrosse game between 9 & 10 year olds, one would have to look at the fact that the officials in this particular game, one of them a senior official of that particular arena, had lost control of the game.

Just some thoughts...

Thanks,

Re: Owen Sound

by get serious (Login laxphan)

You seem to be missing the point of the whole thing---it doesn't matter that the kids were in no danger,they had to watch as their parents fought.I am sure that will affect them,and for some it will be "well if it is ok for mom and dad to do it,it must be ok for me to do it."
What is really pathetic though,is that you feel the need to say that the ref's lost control,it comes across as if you are in a small way justifying what happened.
I don't care how bad any game could be refereed,there is no excuse for parents to act like hooligans in front of their children,it is a disgrace.You wonder why some kids act the way they do,they are taught it just by observing how their parents act.

I agree

by (Login Jim.Bell)

And if you seen by my post, that was the last comment stated, no it wasn't trying to place the blame, nor justify what happened.

All involved were to blame for the ruckus. Including the Parents, there is no question in my mind regarding that. It was something that shouldn't have happened.

You are right about, no refs, no game. The refs were not to be blamed for the actions of the parents, and the Orillia coaching staff.

But in closing the officials in any game have the ability to defuse certain situations, i.e. kicking a coach out, tossing a few players out, warning both benches that enough is enough, taking control of the game. (this is not referring to the game at hand it was a general comment regarding any game, played anywhere)

We've all seen games in which one of the following statements are true: The refs called a great game; Wow the refs called a tight game; Wow the called everything under the sun and in the rulebook; Wow the refs really let the players play; and finally wow the refs sure let the players decide that game, they put the whistles in their pockets. (agan general statements about any game, played anywhere)

FOR SURE THE REFS WERE NOT THE REASON THIS HAPPENED (now talking about the game at hand)It was a result of heated up parents, and an Orillia coaching staff that showed poor judgement. I guess if all were granted a "do-over" things would be different.

Did I mention that the Coliseum in Owen Sound, should have protective barriers around the benches? Perhaps this should be addressed. Or at least blocked off so parents, or other teams can-not stand directly behind the benches, with no glass, or fence between them.

FYI for those that haven't been to the Coliseum.... the arena looks like it has been placed "off centre". The floor is the same, and the benches are on one side, and the fans on the other (bleachers) but behind the benches is an area that runs the length of the arena floor, is about 40 or so feet wide, and the benches are not closed in by fence, or glass like other arenas.

BEFORE anyone jumps to conclusions regarding the arena comment, it to WAS NOT REASON this happened.

Bottom line is simply this, the parents of both teams were wrong (those involved) and the Orillia coaching staff were wrong. All the above comments only added to the fire.

The bantering back and forth on these forums doesn't help the game of lacrosse either. It's in the OLA'S hands, and they have received the special incident report and they come down on as they see fit.

You said....... "Were the players shook up over the events, yes. Some not all. Did the parents, from both centres, as well as the coaching staff from Orillia take the game away from the players? Yes! This game is all about the players that play."


What concerns me about this comment you made is this, some players not at all were shook up over this event. What 9 & 10 doesn't get upset that someone got more icecream or cake then them. They were all effected by it. To see your parent(s) go to blows with other parents/coaches and not be shook up doesn't hold water with me.

Even if your the kid who's parent(s) kept their cool and didn't get involved, there were parents who still did and these kids witnessed it all. I only hope someone spoke to the kids about this after.

When a comment is made "it's about the players that play", then as spectator's let them play. I've watched parents get more worked up over hits during a game because they don't understand the game of lacrosse. They see what they believe should be a penalty and scream bloody murder at the other team that is made up of 9 & 10 year olds, the coaches and the ref's.

When did some adults stop acting like adults....when their children start to play sports?

by (Login Jim.Bell)

As I've said many times in the sports opinion column I wrote for the paper....

The same people that bring these wonderful athletes in the world are the same ones at times that are wrecking sports in general.

The actions of the adults is something that needs to be addressed, will it ever stop? No it will not.

The only way is to have all parents outside the building and not watch the game, will that help, nope not at all, because when little "Johnny" or "Suzy" tell them how the game went, all parents, sorry most parents, wait, some parents will try to tell them do this, or do that, or "really, don't take that sh#t again" or dare I say "Stand up for yourself, hit him back"

Competitive sports, is lived through children of the parents that didn't have much or any career in competitive sports. As you stated the parents that are yelling don't know the rules.

Parents are to be blamed. Parents, that include most coaches, correct.

If you would like to continue this discussion please send me a personal email. I've put my information on here, because I don't have anything to hide....not saying you do! (please don't think that was a comment at you) So please feel free to send me one:

Good comments Jim ... in particular "the parents that are yelling don't know the rules."

I've said this before, the CLA should post the Rule Book on its website so there is no excuse for not knowing the rules. The average fan, and a lot of Coaches too, base their knowledge solely on what they have seen, or think they have seen, at games.

Fans, Coaches and Players would all benefit from better access to the CLA Rule Book.

I wasn't there, but i think thats a bold statement saying that all the children were effected. If i was in that situation i would not care. It's not that big of a deal they will get over it. I think some people are taking this too seriously. As someone said the energy level was high in the building so a 10 year old might cry cuz hes emotional?... like i think your taking it too seriously by saying i hope someone talks to these kids... come on now.

The parents would have never went to the bench if the drunken coaches from Orillia had not thrown a water bottle at the Sarnia coaches ( only 2 on the bench) and then the real idiot from Orillia challenging everyone to go outside to fight. When a 69 year old grandfather witnessed his grandson have his head taken off by a player sent out by this idiot he went to the bench to tell the coach to get a grip before some one gets hurt, he was physically accosted by by said coach and this is when some parents came to his aid. There was only one sane person on the Orillia bench and he happened to be their biggest, he was trying to restore order unlike the other 3 that were swinging at anybody.
What happened was a disgrace but to blame it on the parents of Sarnia is a joke. The 3 guys on the Orillia bench should never be allowed to coach again and you coming to their defense makes it look like you feel they were not to blame in any way.
I don't know many people that are going to let a 69 year old take a beating by three people. He probably should not have went to the bench but he also should not have to fight 3 men alot younger than him.

Re: Confused?

The parents had know business being ANYWHERE near the Orillia bench, as for Sarnia not being to blame for this if they weren't screaming and swinging at the coaches this would not have happened!! Don't try to sift the whole blame on Orillia coaches with a sympathy letter, the 69 year old Grandfather knew exactly what he was doing when he went to the bench!!! If he has been around Lacrosse he knows you aren't allowed to approach the other bench no matter what is going on!!!

You're Confused

by lacrossehero (Login lacrossehero)

The drunken coach from Orillia was challenging anyone that would listen long before this took place. The guy has no right to be on the bench in charge of kids. 90% of the blame rests on his shoulders. If this is the type of person you want running your team then more power to you. You only had one guy on that bench with any class.

Orillia Parent

by (Login PSova)

Jim,

Well said! I do not have a child on this team and wasn't at the game but am a avid supporter of lacrosse and hate to see it get this kind of bad press. I have read and heard the accounts of the incident and agree that all parties demonstrated poor judgement. I think you missed one important particpant however, the Sarnia coaching staff. If anyone could have diffused this situation it was them. The Sarnia parents that approached the Orillia bench had to pass the Sarnia bench. They certainly were not going to listen to reason from anyone from Orillia or the refs who they were already angry with. If the Sarnia coach would have stepped up maybe they would have listened.

One other comment about the refs, again I wasn't there..so this is a general comment. The refs are the only people in an arena that have control over the game. The parents, while passionate and dedicated, cannot effect the play on the floor, no matter how much they act like idiots. Coaches do not control the actions of players on the floor, once the game is going they have very little control. I have ulitmate respect for those that choose to ref games at any level, but unfortunatly the job comes with great responsibility. This game has been documented as being "chippy" from the begining, but few penalties were called and not one player/coach/parent was ejected prior to the incident. Wouldn't you think the Sarnia parent that approached the Orillia bench the first time and the Orillia coach that confronted them should have been tossed out of the arena? I can't explain that can you?

Don't blame the referees. If your a fan and not a nutbar you shouldn't need to be removed.
If you are coaching don't say you can't control what happens on the floor. This obviously wasn't a spontaneous event. I'm sure the coaches were changing lines and if you want the chippiness to stop then take control and start sitting players down that are involved in the crap. Don't wait for someone else to control YOUR players.

It's Up To The Coaches

by JBD14KW (Login JBD14KW)

I couldn't agree with you more. It all starts with the coaches who put the kids on the floor. They know who plays chippier and are ultimately the ones leading all of our kids. I often hear folks complain about certain associations whose teams are always at the centre of the shenanigans but the coaches carry the day when the game starts.

It's hard enough as a coach managing the game and the 15 kids on the floor; I would therefore not support any arguement that suggests the coaches are responsible for controlling their parents in the stands

by JBD14KW (Login JBD14KW)

The coaches are taking care of what happens with their players on the floor and should not be worrying about the parents. My point is that it is up to the coaches to set the tone for how the players carry themselves, especially if a game gets chippy. This also goes with how coaches treat the referees and the example they set for the kids.

I usually never even hear the parents being so wrapped up in the game.
The hard part is when parents perceive one team is playing beyond the rules and getting away with it.

Re: Intermediate A Teams

by MG7 (Login MG07)

have seen orangeville, burlington and peterborough play.

orangeville is quick as usual, but they have questionable discipline (at least in our game). lots of chippy crap going on.

we saw peterborough early in the year, they too were big and fast, with solid goaltending.

burlington is probably on the cusp of A/B. they have fewer strong players than o'ville or peterborough but they could be competitive if they keep improving the way they have so far this year.

just my opinion

by big lax fan (Login BTender30)

i can see all those teams going A for sure, but ong guy said Halton hills is appealing for B, its possible, i haven't seen them or the beaches play this year, but i'm probably guessing the beaches will be a good force to reckon with. as for whitby...from what ive heard in their zone, they aren't wat they used to be, but who knows, burlington is in a simillar boat, running the 1st tourney short benched, and not having their full bench when they played orangeville those 3 times in both tournaments, they kept up with them in the 1st period in the orangeville tourney, but we all know more legs = fresh lungs, so they eventually lost steam, and the game. so its a coin toss i guess for burlington. But why not spartan in the A mix? they keep boasting about it?

Re: whatabout St. Kitts?

by Justin Disher (Login jdisher)

I totally agree with St. Catharines being in "A" from what I've seen. Hamilton might be on the outside looking in this year...didn't they lose all four games in Orangeville this past weekend? I believe they have lost a lot of one goal games in Zone play this year and much of the credit for that, from what I've been told, has to be given to their goaltender. (Welland was winless in Orangeville as well, however, they had a really short bench on Friday and ran into penalty trouble throughout the weekend. Unfortunately, I wasn't there this past weekend, so I don't know how anyone looked in comparison to them.) Whoever makes it, one thing is certain...we are going to be in for some excellent lacrosse at Provincials. I can't wait!

I saw Welland in Orangeville (although I missed the KW game due to my son's graduation ceremony) and saw a team that battles hard and has some grit. They lost to Orangeville by 1 goal (as did KW) and were in it with Guelph for the first half of the game. I could see them in A. How have they done against St. Kitts in zone play?

Brampton should medal

by missmydog (Login missmydog)

Six Nations did thump Brampton in the Oville final but the game was not quite as one sided as the score would indicate. Brampton has also beaten Halton twice, Oville, Guelph, Peterbourough, Hamilton, London. Not bad for a team with no Team O players on it. Looking forward to their next game against Whitby as these two teams look very evenly matched.
Be suprised if they don't end up in the Gold final but it will probably come down to a couple of lucky bounces as the top six teams are all very capable.

13 to go

by WBL (Login wizbanglax)

There are 11 preliminary ranked A teams:

Awkwesasne
Whitby
Peterborough
Halton Hills
Orangeville
Six Nations
Brampton
Guelph

These are your top eight

The pretenders (preliminary ranked A) A wins are only counted if they were against the above


KW (has not beaten an A team other than Guelph lost and tied B teams)
Hamilton (no A wins many B losses)
Beaches (no A wins many B losses)


Contenders:

St. Catherines (only beat KW)
Welland (no A wins have lost to B team(s))
Barrie (beat Peterborough lost to London)
London (no A wins (two ties) 2 zone losses some blow out losses in A)
Burlington (no A wins one B loss and 2 ties)

I am sure there are others but they have not appearred in A tournaments or were blown out.

So I guess Hamilton and Beaches are out that leaves as many as four available spots, St Kitts is next best then its a toss up and if the others request A do they go to fourteen? If not my guess would be they will go for zone representation and leave Burlington out.

Take a look around the league coaches. There are other kids showing up to these tryouts that you are cutting to keep your friendships. This is supposed to be about building the best team possible to respresent Ontario, not Whitby. Good luck with that!!!

For the most part, the whitby players on the team deserve to be there. The team might not have been so unbalanced if the more known/dominant players in the league tried out. There is alot of talent that did not show up to the tryouts. I am sure the whitby players along with the other players will get the job done in Calgary.

who really made it?

by classicpro (Login classicpro)

AS always we go through the motions with little to no intentions of picking in fairness rather the old boys club and clicks prevail. I would have to agree there is alot of talent easily overlooked or not applied due to past practise.For the most part if you were at the first camp they ran some great drills and was a great day for all. Those that were part of the evaluation process were not always present or seemed focused on all of it. With way to many players at one location it would have been impossible to give a fair evaluation for all,so for the most part it is a cash grab.I realize the coaching wants to pick the best team for them , usually meaning players they know personally.Its a no win situation, due it by invitation some will say they were missed, make the take no more than 3 from a team and they lose they ll blame it in the rules.I wish the team and players all the best its just to bad this makes some of their swell.

If there are 8 very talented Whitby players that are top 18 in the province this team should be beating the competition with there eyes shut or the rest of the team is not that good. Just in tournament play they have been held to 5 or less goals in at least SIX and three or less in two????

Withoout looking I would also guess that the coach(es) are from Whitby or zone 6.

Frankly the OLA has created the catch 22 of the qualified kids not trying out as they know that if they don't play for A teams in "The Lacrosse Centers" ( Whitby, Orangeville, Halton Hills, Peterborough etc. ) they don't have a chance because the OLA TEAM ONTRAIO history shows it. ( and they repeated it again this year, 8 Midget players from Whitby !! How many minor Bantam players from the above A type centers were selected ?? ) The OLA should mandate that Team Ontario is just that a team made up of outstanding players from the entire province!! Surely each zone has at least one player good enough to play for his provincial team. If each zone had at least one player on Team Ontario for each of the Peewee, Bantam & Midget teams that means that for the most part a member of Team Ontario will play in every lacrosse arena in Ontario. That creates a buzz in every arena and will instill hopes, dreams and desires in every member of every association!! Not every A Player is able to play on an A team!! That doesn't diminish their skills or abilities, in fact in some ways it enhances them!! Add to the every zone requirement that no association team can have more that 3 - 4 players on Team Ontario. This won't completely remove the politics and friendships issues but it will certain remove it to some extent. If the OLA has selected the best coaches there is in Ontario to coach the best kids in the province then that's what they should be capable of. Not just coaching a group of kids who already play together!! Won’t ever happen but it doesn’t hurt to dream!!

As Ontario will always be a strong team I would even limit it to two per team. Lets maximize the exposure. Even better and create more competition have Ontario east and and Ontario west (or North South) as they do in curling.

Orangeville

Peewee Team O - zero players on roster
Bantam team O - one player on roster
Midget Team O - three players on roster

I don't consider that excessive representation from a big A centre like Orangeville.

I think that Team O has historically spread things around well over the associations save for this years Midget with 8 Whitby and 2006 Peewee with 8 Whitby. (both teams coached by their home Whitby coach) Other than that it's been a great distribution.

I follow peewee as I have a peewee kid and this years team has 13 associations represented on their 20 man roster which is great. Last year's peewees had 14 or 15 different teams represented out of 20 kids on roster.

Team Ontario Selection

by (Login JoelJohnson)

I am the head Coach for Midget Team Ontario, and I would like to clarify a few things to all the skeptics out there. First, I dont not have any kids playing lacrosse, nor do I have any friendships off the floor with any Whitby player that was selected. I am unbiased to any other players who tried out, and looking at the numbers (of who actually tried out) most centers were not represented with more than 3 players, at most. There were more Whitby kids cut who tried out (6) than any other association. Also, the program is set to take the strongset players to compete in the tournament, and out of the many evaluators (From ALL across Ontario a team was selected. Of course out of who attended.

I personally watched very closely, ALL players. I had some very difficult deciions to make. There were a large chunck of players who dropped out of the program for hockey. Also, do you think a player should not be able to make the team, just because there are already a couple players from their home assoc. team making it?? Is that fair to the kid?? Should players who work hard and attend camp, not be looked at because they are from Whitby?? If only 2 players try out from a small center, should one make it because hey are from a small center??

I am doing my best with the program, and I appreciate the positive support that is out there. As for the negative supporters, I feel sorry for you. I wonder if the people making commments were even at the try-outs, or actually evaluated the players for talent, and not just looking at their address of residence. I was very proud of the variety of players who competed in both camps. Ontario is a strong powerhouse lacrosse association, and for ANYBODY who tries to select a team, I wish you luck. No matter where you are from. It changes your perspctive to have kids playing, and making your opinions, but anyone who wishes to donate their summer like me, must really enjoy lacrosse. The rewards are not very rewardng, when you are ridiculed for what you do. Many of you do not know me, but many comments are being made like you do. Not really fair to post blind comments, and not post your name.

If anyone would like to discuss the matter. Please email me, and I would be glad to discuss your opinions, and get a chance to give you mine.

Answer this coach

by fried onions (Login friedonoins)

Would your team look the same if a second team was being picked from those left behind. Honestly do think anyone believes you would have taken 8 players from your association if the OLA decided to floor two teams? I would never question the effort that you and your coaching staff put into the program but 8 players? Who else but Whitby has taken the #s from their home associations you guys have. Come on.
Hey Drawman, well stated does not make this guy right. You know this would not be the 1 team if 2 teams were being picked. Congratulations on your son inclusion but Ontario Lacrosse would be much better served by flooring two teams.

But only 1 can go

by drawman (Login drawman)

Ontario could probably field 3-4 teams as could BC I'm sure.
But the CLA does not allow it, so what to do??

The CLA recieves funding from the government for an all-star team
based National championship.(for each team participating) They recieve nothing from a local team represented championship as it does not fall under the given definition provided to them by the government. Hence they
will not likely alter the current formula anytime soon.

I see many points of views on this subject (selection) and have since peewee when my son was involved with the debut of the "new" nationals.
I have never applied for the team Ontario coaching position so I'm pretty mute on this selection process. Having said that I have known this age
level since paperweight and most of the good players this province has produced over the years. I agree with you that more than 1 team would
show well from Ontario but it is not to be. As far as players being moved
to the second team from the first team hypothetically this year I would think that many factor's would have to weigh into that decision such as
and not limited to :
-left vs right handed shooters

-can the player play in both ends as required by the no offense/defense policy implemented this year at all national tourneys

- endurance, ego's, team play, etc etc...

I do not defend Joel because my son made the team. I like to think he
earned his way on it. In bantam my boy was not invited back to a second camp
after playing on the peewee team 2 years prior. I defend Joel because he is a good coach with no son related issues. We need people to give back to this sport what they have taken and learned over the years and I will
encourage this constantly as I do in Brampton.

My thoughts only.

Selections for Team O

by Bobby Boogie (Login 29laxwall)

My son attended the final selection camp and was disappointed at not making the final cut. However, as parents our responsibility is to help these young men regardless of the final decisions made on the roster to use this process as a "teachable moment" for our teenagers. They will soon be leaving for prep schools or college or university and need to realize that everything in life does not go your way. Someone else gets chosen over you for a place at the school you wanted or the job you wanted or the girl you want to date.

Take the chance to help your sons grow from these things. For those that were successful - do not take the opportunity for granted. Play hard and leave everything on the floor. You owe that to your teammates, coaches and families. Recognize that someone else would almost donate a limb to have your chance so treat it with the respect it deserves.

Joel, Bob and Ray - the job ain't easy and G is grateful for the opportunity. See you all at quallies!

Drawman - congrats to Dylan for us.

Just Wondering...

by Ryan Dowdall (Login r_dowdall)

Did any of you put in for the team? If not, you should next year because you all really seem to know what you're talking about. Until then, let the guy who got the position do his thing.

Next year, when they are accepting applications, you can all put in for the team. With your apparent expertise, one of you will no doubt get the position. Then you can take whoever you choose, but believe me, people will still come on here and complain about you not taking this guy, or that guy. They will also whine that you took too many players from your home organization (even if there are only a couple). You can please some people some fo the time, but you can't please everyone all of the time.

Earlier on in this thread someone asked, perhaps hypothetically, how many potential candidates simply didn't show up for try outs for this team. Now we have an opportunity to ask why some potential coaches didn't 'put in' (let's say 'apply') for the team.

Maybe, just maybe, many of the potential players and coaches HAVE given their heads a shake, observed what's happened with this age group since the inception of the Team Ontario concept at PeeWee and have walked away.

What about having the Midget A coaches who finish with this year's medals the 3 contenders for next year's Team Ontario entry... If they can medal with a community based team, imagine what they could do with a provincial selection. My only thoughts on having 8 players from one centre are that it takes away an opportunity for a kid in, say Cambridge to become a local hero and a beacon for others to aspire to in their community should they wear a Team O jersey. Ontario is going to medal either way this year. It would be nice to see a Sudbury kid hanging out with a Cornwall kid out in Calgary...

Re: Just Wondering...

It is truely impossible to make everyone happy. It is more than one person picking the team. After attending the 1st tryout, i realized there are people watching the players at all times. And those people are not just from whitby, but from different zones across ontario. Players who attended were given a fair chance to impress the scouts. I was very happy with how the tryout went.

8 players from whitby is not bad, but more expected. The coach is from whitby so he certainly knows what those 8 players are capable of. For the most part, these players are dominant factors that are able to control the flow of the game. I truely believe we all should support our representitives, regardless where they are from.

Good luck Team O.

Showcase the real numbers

by fried onions (Login friedonoins)

With the number of great lacrosse players living in Ontario and the fact that the First Nations floor their own team would it not make sense(and please don't use the cost excuse as this is rep sports we're talking about) to enter two teams into the tourny? Without questioning the coaches who seem to get awfully defensive when their politics is questioned would a second team not make a whole lot more people happy and give many more players the opportunity to get involved. Bottom line why do they not enter two teams. Would somebody step up and answer this very simple question?
I mean when you talk about Lacrosse in Ontario the player base is comparable to Canada in the hockey world. Please put me in my place if I'm wrong.

What would that solve?

by Abused fan (Login krashr)

After you pick your second team, there will be another set of parents upset that their son didn't make it to the team. As for reasons for not allowing a second team? Government money(sorry, but the truth), now you have to allow BC two teams and possibly Iroquois(they've medalled a lot) Alberta, scheduling(how big can you let this championship get?), why would other provinces come for the Ont/BC showcase(Ont1 + BC1 gold medal game, Ont2 + Iroq1 bronze game) and more headaches.

Classic Pro you bring up a very debatable point though

by Gary Mark (Login marksy)

Is Team Ontario a "representation" of the lacrosse centres in the Province of Ontario?

Or is Team Ontario a "representation" of the best players / goalies that a particular age group can offer from Ontario?

Either way the selection committe cannot win. The representation of the Province will have people screaming because good kids (from big centres) got cut, whereas the representation of the best will have people screaming because good kids (from small centres) got cut (yes I meant to say that twice).

The problem is; I'm not sure I've ever heard what the mandate of Team Ontario is, or even if there is one. It would be great if it could be both. But can it? The problem is that far too many people will always have differing opinions.

Just a thought....

How a second team gets rid of the politics

by Friedonions (Login friedonoins)

Buy flooring a second team the OLA hedges against a coach picking players he has political connections to ahead of more talented kids, there is no way the One team coach sets up his team to potentially loose to the two team just to satisfy personal relationships. My sons are not even in this age group so I have nothing personal to gain by seemingly discediting the Team O coaching staff. The point I'm trying to make is the present system leaves itself wide open to second guessing.
Another option might be to pick two or three teams and run a pre national tourny to see which one goes to the Nationals. OLA pockets a whole whack of cash and alot more kids are given a real opportunity to represent their province. 45 runners are chosen and entered into a three team draft. Just a thought. There is definetely some room for a restructuring of the present system. Good luck to all the Teams in August.

Hey Ryan

by Gary Mark (Login marksy)

Nice to see your comment, seeing as you are NOT FROM WHITBY! I was wanting to say something similar but being from this bad town figured it best to just keep reading.

While I cannot disagree with the feeling of tryouts being a "cash grab" (come on, $100 per player, or was it more this year?)as commented by a few people, is it also a possibility that maybe some players / families stayed away due to the price tag tied to being a part of this team? I may be wrong but I heard Peewee Team O participants are paying $800 and that is play here in Ontario. What is it to play on the Midget team going to Calgary?

In any case, this brings up the age old question; should we go back to the way it was way back in the stone ages when I played Minor Lacrosse and make these "National Tournaments" invitational so that any club teams from any Province that want to go can raise the funds themselves and go?

I'd think it might be cheaper...

I agree Gary..

I would love to see the old National format come back. I was able to participate at the Nationals in 85 in Edmonton. As well we hosted a couple here in K-W. It was a great experience that I will never forget. It would give more kids an opportunity to get a taste of other lacrosse culture. The Team Ontario concept is good but I think it has lost its flavour being done every year. The closest thing we have now to a minor team playing a tournament with a National feel is the Canada Day tournament in Calgary. We did this last year and had a blast. Good luck to those Ontario teams that are there this weekend.

I'm not suggesting for a econd that the Team O concept is a bad one, but club teams open the opportunity for more kids is my point.

Change the format

by Abused fan (Login krashr)

What needs to be done is to wipe out the allstar teams in Ontario and BC. Have a weekend long elmination tournament to determine one club team to go. Time constraints and fundraising are road blocks that have to be danced around. It's kind of tiring watching Ontario and BC pump the likes of Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Send a club team from Ont and BC, a club team from Iroquois and Alberta with a couple of pick-ups and allstar teams from the rest. As weaker provinces become more competitive, make them bring club teams. Maybe 10-20 years down the road when national parity kicks in, we can have all provinces send allstar teams.

Goal with 5 seconds left to pull out the victory. The game was back and forth like all games when these two teams meet. Well played game by both teams and we get to travel to Whitby on July 16th for the return game...if not before then.

As for 10 runners, it is tough for sure but we're figuring it out now which certainly helps. 15 minute periods is easy after playing 20's in our zone.

by neverlaxed (Login neverlaxed)

Summer games is a bigger deal than winning the Midget title. All athletes stay in Ottawa together, it's like a National or International experience. The kids who went two years ago, thought the atmosphere was better than the game of lacrosse. You stay for a week and play everyone. * teams at Summer games makes for a better experience. I would think the OLA will push for 18 teams at quallies, top 4 from each pool go on.

Provincial box ratings question?????????

by tbone16 (Login tbone16)

The zone 10 ratings meeting for provincials is later this week, and I have a technical question that someone might know the answer oo, having been down this road before:

Can you have your town's #1 and #2 teams both rated "B", without having an "A" team??

And for that matter, can they both be rated "C" without having a "B" or "A"??

Any help is appreciated.

You would think that the OLA has now gone with the B1 and B2 groupings that it should be able to work.

I believe the answer is...

by Tsitshoh (Login tsitshoh)

She:kon,

MR7.02(e)

Provided an Association has entered an "A" level team in an age category, they may apply to the V.P. Administration Minor to seek permission to enter more than one team in any other level with the same age category. (No permission required for more than one "A" team)

So technically no, you can't have the 1 & 2 teams in the same leve since one of them as to be an 'A' team.  Now you cuold have teams 2 & 3 in 'B' provided 1 is 'A.'  As well, since there is no 'A' team, the other teams would have to be ranked 'B' & 'C.'

Kingston Krossfire Bantams win the Cornwall Tournament!!!

by (Login hal1952)

The Kingston KrossFire bantam competitive team went undefeated to win the group 3 bantam championship the Cornwall 'Sonny Herrington' Veterans tournament.

Game 1 found the Krossfire short benched against Gloucester with the game ending in a 3 -3 tie. Goal scorers were Aiden Thomson, Alec Johnston and Kevin Leeder who tied the game with 4 seconds left. Game 2 was against Cornwall where Kingston won 7 - 5. KrossFire goals were scored by Aiden Thomson, James Mitchell, Haneh Brant, Alec Johnston and Logan Rose led the way with a hat trick. Game 3 saw the KrossFire play BreBeuf (Quebec) with a lopsided score of 12 - 2. Alec Johnston and Aiden Thomson tallied 3 goals apiece, Logan Rose chipped in with 2 and Haneh Brant, Kevin Leeder, Scott Morrison and Nicholas McFarlane each scored singles. Game 4 saw a rematch against BreBeuf with the end result being a 9 - 3 win for the KrossFire. Logan Rose fired 3 goals, Ty Harvey chipped in 2 and singles went to Alec Johnston, James Mitchell, Kevin Leeder and Scott Morrison.

The championship game featured Kingston squaring off against Cornwall for bragging rights. Kingston spread the scoring out over 3 periods and won 10 - 5. James Mitchell fueled the win with a hat trick, Logan Rose and Haneh Brant each had a pair with singles going to Kevin Leeder, Alec Johnston and Cole Byvelds. Haneh Brant was also outstanding in the defensive end easily recovering many loose balls. The KrossFire trainer Gord Mitchell was also kept hopping for the entire tournament tending numerous player injuries and pulling double duty as the stick Doctor in maintaining the players sticks. Gord was not feeling 100% either but you would never have known it.

Shamrox rule on Gala Day in Oakvile......

by tbone16 (Login tbone16)

I know many of you on this forum have kids in rep, but I just wanted to give credit for the Oakville House League volunteers who ran a great gala day wrap-up to the house league season today. In all 4 age dvisions from Tyke to bantam, the lucky Shamrox made the finals, and were able to wn in 3 of them,I guess it was the luck of the Irish!! Lots of smiling faces, win or lose, and many future rep kids among them I'm sure. The only regrests that were shared was that the house league season is too short, but I have heard that pushing it past Canada Day can result in many kids missing out as vacations take over.

Would love to hear how and when your local association wraps up house league, let's give the HL kids some publicity, they deserve it!!

Hey tbone, Whitby wrapped up H/L today too!

by Gary Mark (Login marksy)

We've talked a number of times in the past about the length of H/L as well, and it appears that more prefer the length as is, due to exactly as you say.......vacations / cottages, etc.

I just got in about an hour ago. We ran 4 pads from 8am this morning until 7 pm tonight and it was a very long, but rewarding day. As you say, seeing (mostly) smiling faces on the kids makes it worth it all.

Congrats to all of the volunteers all across Ontario that make the effort to make this last day of lacrosse each year a memorable one.

In St. Catharines...

by Coach (Login laxfan420)

We start the house league half way through May with a rating process to give every team a couple skilled players and some weaker so the teams are fair, the coaches for each division, rate every player and also have the ratings from the year before. the only age group who are not rated are paperweight and thats because there mostly all new players. We are about half 2/3's of the way through the year with the season ending thursday july 17th and then the last weekend with playoffs so we have about 1 month left and it's looking good, except i have noticed this year there isn't as many quality volunteers out there helping compared to years past. i have one question to ask you guys do the youngest aged kids 3-4 year olds play with softer balls in your house league? i guess its a rule the ola has but i think its absolutely crap that you cant play with a lacrosse ball when your playing lacrosse lol are the kids going to get hit by a ball and get hurt even though the kids can barely throw it, i would like to compare that rule to hockey do they use foam pucks? come keep lacrosse, lacrosse!!!! good luck St. Catharines

In Orangeville....

by Abused fan (Login krashr)

We try to push house league right through until the first week of August as the finals week. Some weeks in July it's 6 or 7 runners, but more floor time is good. This year our town is putting the ice back in early and bumping us a week earlier. Apparently 9 months of hockey is needed. Bastards.

As for 'soft lacrosse', at first it seems a little weird, but I guess if we just work the hell out of the stick skills drills, we will see some nice results down the road. I'm probably in the minority to bring the young ones along slowly, but I do like it.

RESPECT

by RESPECT (Login Laxer1000)

The SPARTANS inter. have no respect for anyone. not even there fans. The have a bunch of mouths that dont stop talking. Once they get pissed off, they try and complain about stupid things. I had the chance to watch a game in Fort Erie last night, and they were down 1 or 2 goals and tried to get a 2 min pen and a game mis. for the goalie only becuz his jersey was to small. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. wouldnt you rather have a goalie with a smaller jersey. rather then a bigger one. That really made me laugh. Then they started calling there team names and trying to get them to go in the box. When really they put them selfs in. then when they could beat the goalie they had to start calling him swiss cheese. OKAY MAKES A WHOLE BUNCH OF SENSE. The ONLY reason why the SPARTANS WON was because of a mental let down from F.E. I dont think any team can take a verbal Abuse for 60 min straight. NICE TRY F.E you hung in there guys.

P.S Spartans cant wait to play you!!

Markham vs. Clarington Double header

by Int fan (Login intfan)

This weeks action saw the gaels take on the thunder(ironheads??) with the boys in green posting sizable wins both games. The first game hosted by Markham was a great tilt with perfect officiating, run and gun lacrosse, and stellar goaltending. Don't be fooled by the 9-2 score, the game was close down to the wire, the only difference was Markhams failure to capitilize on their chances.No funny business either.

The second game wasn't as fun to watch. The reffing was to tight both ways, if the boys had been aloud to play it would have been a great game. The Gaels came out and quickly got up 2-0 at the end of the first. The second saw the Gaels score a nice transition goal followed by Markhams only two tallies on the night. Then the flood gates opened in the last 10 minutes of the 2nd frame seeing the gaels score 4 un answered goals. The 3rd was all Markham but once again the offence couldn't click, leavng the final to be 7-2 for the Gaels.. Some minor fun stuff, mostly thunder plays lookin for a tilt then when a gaels player steped up the markham player quickly took shelter behind the refs(I believe #14 for the visitors was the coward each time).

re: get lost

by (Login Doug_Kemp)

Some players live in a centre where there is only B, C, D, lacrosse. Not your dream world where A lacrosse is all that matters. It is my understanding you are not allowed to leave your centre to play in another because it has higher caliber ball. Some players play for the love of the game and are not bothered by playing with the "low lifes" whose centres are trying to provide a place for those who choose to play whether it be A, B, C, or D lacrosse. If there are A caliber players on any of these B,C,D teams who wish to make Jr. teams they will be found and recruited as word runs quickly like diarrhea. Just look at some of the post on this very forum.

Thanks to all those volunteers who are only worried about providing this great sport and making a difference for those non future JR, PRO and SR players.

"low lifes"

by Lax Fan (Login laxfan420)

i never once mention that phrase or implied it when i was talking about b,c,d ball. i totally support grass roots lacrosse and areas that are growing an excelling, my experience with lacrosse has a been a joyful one, many tournaments won, went to summer games, played junior a and junior b. But you have to understand, lacrosse at its best is 'a' ball lacrosse and thats why i enjoy it more, i am not saying its the players fault or the clubs they belong fault either but when your out there on the floor and your playing a ball you know its "A' ball, kids that play it practice more, have better coaches and train to be better players then the kids playing b,c,d and thats why i dislike it when kids say its all the same because it not and never will be if you have every played lacrosse then you will know what i am talking about. congrats to everyone playing lacrosse without it my life wouldn't be same without it... As for 'A' ball... i can't wait to play it again in the provincials

"A"

by (Login Doug_Kemp)

I apoligize for that comment but the tone of your message struck me that way. So when a kid is good enough to play A ball he should get his parents to move to an A centre or the parents should ask for the release to play A Ball, get turned down, then have the association saying he wants to leave to play for a different centre? I don't disagree with you A ball is better lax but under some circumstances kids are not choosing where they live so they play with where ever they can. I'm just glad my son gets to experience this game as I did as our association is fairly new and growing.

Another Good Game for the Stars

by Gary (Login kemplen)

A 3-2 game against Orilla should be considered a good game sounds like Duffy saw alot of rubber and game up big once again. Looks like the Stars will be rated a B team and will have to play well to make it our of the first day at the provincials.

Yes Duffy saw a lot of rubber... but to be fair, we only had 10 runners. Once our team is fully healthy, these close losses to those A and B teams should turn into wins. We're not worried. We will do fine in the Provincials.

Parents barred from watching children's lacrosse games

Parents barred from watching children's lacrosse games

League says it's a last resort in dealing with abusive behaviour toward refs

Last Updated: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 | 11:51 AM CT Comments60Recommend43CBC News
Referees were even followed back to their cars by spectators who were yelling and threatening them, said association president Glen Henkewich. (CBC)Parents and other spectators have been barred from watching games in a Manitoba lacrosse league after numerous complaints from referees about abusive behaviour.

The Manitoba Lacrosse Association put the ban in place Tuesday night for games in the Red River Lacrosse Association, the governing body for box lacrosse in Winnipeg and the surrounding area.

Parents who showed up to watch games Tuesday evening were turned away.

"There have been threats of physical violence. We've had some referees … where it's been mentioned to them, 'We know where your car is outside. Nice car. We'll see you after the game,' " lacrosse association president Glen Henkewich said, noting that some referees are as young as 16.

Referees were sometimes even followed back to their cars by spectators who were yelling and threatening them, Henkewich said.

'We feel the game is for the kids, not for the parents.'
— Lacrosse association president Glen Henkewich"It's just getting more ridiculous as the days go on," he said, adding that one senior official has quit and that assigning referees to games has become "quite challenging."

"We have to do something, otherwise I'm not going to have officials going to games," he said.

"And we feel the game is for the kids, not for the parents."

Everyone penalized for behaviour of few: parent
Some parents argue that they've paid their children's fees, so they should be allowed to attend the games. (CBC)But some parents are upset that everyone is being penalized for the behaviour of a few spectators.

" 'Jim Smith' here, he followed the referee to his car. Well, fine, 'Jim Smith' should be banned from the rink, you know, I have no problem with that. But to do everybody, I think, is really ridiculous," said Gary Michalick, whose twin 14-year-old boys play in the league.

Parents paid the registration fees and should be able to watch, he said.

"I believe tonight some of our parents are just going to go sit in the rink and dare them to stop the game," Michalick said.

The ban will remain in place "until further notice," according to the Manitoba Lacrosse Association's website.

The league's novice level is currently in playoffs, while other age groups are still in regular-season play.

Zone 9 scores

by WBL (Login wizbanglax)

Batam #1 Burlington beat Lincoln 9-1 very lack lustre affair from what I hear.
Midget St. Catherines jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Burlington and held on for an 8-6 win. Poorly reffed and timed game.
