Hello everyone I'm not sure how I could post this info so I will direct you to the site www.lacrosseinsidethegame.wordpress.com To see an update and the chance to see a great sponsor presentation that has been put together.
If Grant wants to go out west this year then let him. Although he is a good player he costs the team a lot when he isnt preforming. If John goes through a few games without a point he begins taking stupid penalties and costs the team in a big way. Also he abondoned the team last year to play field lacrosse in Rochester. He is just to unstable to preform great every night.
Also there is enough talent on the team to pick up the slack... EVANS, Kelusky, Carey, Giles, Panos, Clarke, Shawn Evans, Self (although hes d) Wasson. and many more
Does anyone know when the next board meeting is for the Lakers. I mean there are only 4 months before the season starts and Really hope we can get a mascot.
Our Lakers did us proud at the ACC tonight. Too bad there was a phantom goal, that wasn't even close. The goal judge didn't see it, 15,400 fans didn't see it, both teams didn't see it, and the scoreboard didn't see it, just one referee. Jamie, your team looks good - congratulations to the Shamrox.
Peterborough native, goalie Kevin Croswell, brother of Laker Brian Croswell was drafted 8th overall to Langley. Kevin played his junior with the Port Coquitlam Saints.
Peterborough Junior Lakers goalie Aaron Bold was drafted 14th overall by the Victoria Shamrocks. Aaron currently plays for the San Jose Stealth in the NLL.
Peterborough native and son of Lakers executive member Pete Guerin, forward Casey Guerin was drafted 27th overall by Nanaimo. He played his junior with the Port Coquitlam Saints.
Peterborough native Brad Lytle was drafted 56th overall by Victoria. Brad played his junior with Nanaimo.
I didn't know that players could be drafted by different teams in different leagues. WLA Draft....2nd Round Victoria takes Aaron Bold. I though we took him in the OLA Draft?
Taking bus to NLL game at Toronto vs Colorado. 1 bus is full and looking at taking a second one. Saturday March 17, 7:30 pm, highway coach and red ticket, adult $ 52.00, senior (65 and older) and youth (15 and under) $ 38.00. Call 748-2493.
Does anybody know the futures of Shawn Evans and Kyle Sorenson? Do they plan to finish out their junior careers in Ptbo. or are they going to head out west?
I had no idea that Steve was coaching the offence in Chicago. Great move by Bats. The often overlooked Evans brother has been one of my favorites to watch on the Memorial Centre floor for many years now. He's just so damn smart with the ball. We all get a little older and possibly a little slower but the experience that Steve can bring to that team is incredible and can't be measured in their introductory season. (I wondered why they were doing so well)
Who knows, maybe when Jamie decides that his coaching days are through we'll have Steve taking Peterborough to the Mann Cup.
Anyone that would say otherwise doesn't know much about the game. There are players that shoot harder, run faster, pass better, and excel at other aspects of the game, but he is the complete player. No one puts it all together like John.
Major Series Draft and Bus Trip to Rock Game against the Shamrox
by
The Major Series Lacrosse draft happened today and the results are posted at www.majorserieslacrosse.com, a write up on the website should be posted within a week.
Also I am running a bus trip to Toronto on February 18th for the Rock vs. Chicago Shamrox game. E-mail me if you're interested and you would like the details on the trip.
HEY ME AND MY BUDDY WERE LOOKIN TO GO TO A ROCK GAME THIS YEAR AND WERE JUST WONDRING HOW MUCH IT WILL COST AND WHAT IS ALL GOING ON EMIAL ME BACK OR RESPOND TO THIS MSG COOL_GUY611
it has come to my attention that david gray has had a heart attack he is now home resting and our thoughts and prayers are with him and sharon we love u dave. julie amd jeffrey
Yup, Dave played clutch and grab a couple weeks ago. And against doctors orders he is still out canvassing for the March of Dimes. Had him in the other night. He's still a little weaker than normal from the proceedure but is in fine spirits and it appears that the Lakers will be marketed this season in the excellent fashion that they are used to.
Get better soon Dave. I'll be up to shovel a little later.
Chris
There are a bunch of guys get together every Wednesday night at 9.00 pm in the Dome near Fowlers Corners for some running around, tales of grandeur, a little bull, and a great time. Cost is $10. The ladies were invited but none have showed.
The Knighthawks beat the Rock 10-6. Shawn Evans got 3 goals and an assist, John Grant picked up 2 goals and an assist while Pat O'Toole made 51 saves on the night.
Bounces back from a pretty serious bout with the flu from what I heard and makes 51 saves. I don't care what anyone says about the other starters in the league. There is only one best goaltender and we're lucky to have him in the summer.
no doubt pat o'toole is a clutch goaltender, an hopefully he can get that nll championship this season... but seriously look at shawn evans 1st he tears up jr a with more then 100 points now look at him on averaging 6 pts a game well playing with the best players in the world.. now im not gonna say hes unstoppable because d's key in on grant an williams and his brother in the show but man this kid is awsome rochester is gonna be set for a while on the offensive end... hopefully this kid stays with lakers next season so he can play major and jr ...
Looks like hes done for the season after that fight. Wrong guy to fight thats for sure. Hopefully theres a suregon out there that can put his face back together.
did you not see his face... he wasn't bleeding green and blue it was dog d*ck red... we all love our lakers but I mean common he got mangled... rumor has it he broke his orbital bone (while snider finshed the game with continued domination in the face off circle). over react? lets not under react. I even heard from someone at the game it was one of the grossest fights they've seen, mind you the live feed i watched wasn't the clearest.
I watched the fight on YouTube and I couldnt see anything. I now have a clearer picture of what actually happened. And I would have to say he got his butt handed to him if he is in the bad of shape. It was a good fight tho. I mean each player landed 15-20 good shots.
Thanks for hte info.
i agree this was a great tilt, but welsh did lose this fight, snider landed more dominating shots and jus wore welsh down throughout the fight, but who here wants to see shawn evans go snider we all are wondering wat the outcome of that would be
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in a mascot for the team. I think it would help get the crowd into the game and be a fun experience for everyone. If anyone is interested or has ideas on what the mascot should look like reply.
If there is interest I would put up some of the costs of the suit and I would volunteer to wear the suit on game nights.
Get Back to Me Thanks
GO Lakers GO
Something similar to the Pete's would more than suffice. He would have to look a little more menacing though. Rather than the happy McDonalds' eyebrows a touch more stern. Something the kids can respect as much as celebrate. Something that gives the fans an idea of the ideology of the game. Not a goofy/slap happy type guy. Maybe a couple of stitches in his cheek. (no black eyes though, that's weakness) Lakers jersey of course. Just a couple of introductory thoughts.
You would be the perfect guy to wear it though. I can't thank you enough for the jersey you gave Zach. I hope the DVD's were at least a small compensation. You made him one very happy kid.
I'll kick in on the costume. I'm not sure where you have them made but I have a pretty good idea of who to ask. Shoot me a email if you need a hand.
Other than wearing the costume. I'm too fat.
If you could call that person or give me their number I will call them. I love your suggestions thats what i had in mind. If you get in touch with your "source" ask for a quote so we can plan on funding and so on.
The Dvds are great I dont know how many times I have watch the world field lacrosse game or the Final game of the series. They are amazing
I am glad Zach liked the jersey. I hope he gets a lot of use out of it.
email me at travis-mountenay@hotmail.com
i tried to get the old out fit but was not sucessful my son was willing to wear it for the mann cup games i think it would be a great thing for the kids we need more kid friendly things at our laker games go lakers go can't wait for spring
I agree something that is kid friendly is needed but we also have to take into account that it is a rough sport and the mascot needs to be imtimidating to the other team.
How big was this suit?
Where is it and who could i contact to see if i could get it?
The old costume was a Beaver...it was pretty old and I'm 99% it's not around anymore. I have forwarded an email to the executive about this topic to be discussed at an upcoming executive meeting. Stay tuned....
The following is from the OLA fan forum. Bob Joseph, a long time supporter of the Peterborough Lakers and lacrosse throughout Ontario has passed away. Bob will be sadly missed by the lacrosse community. Below is from the OLA fan forum:
Eastern Ontario lacrosse lost a great supporter of the game and a man with a passion for the sport that ran very deep. Robert (Bob) Joseph passed away yesterday after a lengthy illness. He will be missed dearly by his family, friends and all lacrosse enthusiasts.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations in Bob's memory to the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame & Museum. Contact: Mr. Tom Succamore, 18 Ixworth Road, Etobicoke, Ontario. M9W 4R8. Telephone: (416) 742-8630. Confirmation of donations, by receipt, will be acknowledged.
For those of you unfamiliar with Bob’s contribution to the game, please see the following:
During his youth in his hometown of Orillia Ontario, Bob Joseph participated in baseball and hockey, but his passion was lacrosse. And lacrosse in Ontario benefited from his passion. Bob Joseph’s reputation in lacrosse was built on his continued commitment and involvement, serving at the club, league, district and provincial levels. His significant contributions include coaching, managing, sponsoring, fund-raising and holding executive member positions for minor, junior and major teams.
Bob Joseph unselfishly gave of himself, his time and financial resources, contributing in whatever way he could. He was an outstanding lacrosse person who had a long-term commitment. His contributions were significant in Kingston and the entire eastern Ontario region. In addition, he contributed to lacrosse in the cities of Orillia and Peterborough.
At the time of his induction into the Kingston and District Sports Hall of Fame, Cam Devine, then coach of the Orillia Junior “A” lacrosse team noted that “Bob Joseph is held in the highest regard in lacrosse circles – One thing that stands alone about Mr. Joseph is that he has a genuine love of the game of lacrosse”.
A Builder
Bob was active in the development, promotion and management of lacrosse at minor, junior and major levels of the game since 1970. He was an active franchise owner, coach, manager, executive member and sponsor at all levels of the game during the past thirty-six years.

He founded the Kingston Kings Junior team that won the Ontario championship in 1973. He was the Kings’ general manager and coach.
1973 to 1976 – Eastern Ontario-Quebec /Interprovincial Lacrosse League.
Bob served as an executive member of the Ontario-Quebec Interprovincial Junior Lacrosse League as well as coaching and managing the Kingston Junior Lacrosse Club.
1981 to 1983 – OLA Executive Member
Bob’s passion, dedication and commitment to lacrosse led to his involvement at the provincial level. He served as a member of the Ontario Lacrosse Association’s Board of Governors in 1981 and 1982 and he was second Vice-President in 1983.
Orillia Kings Junior Lacrosse Club
In the 1980’s while still living in Kingston, Bob Joseph opened a business in his hometown of Orillia. Mr. Joseph sponsored and sat on the board of the Orillia Junior “B” lacrosse club, which named the team the “Kings” in honour of him. This team was very successful becoming Ontario champions three times between 1990 and 1995 and Canadian champions twice in 1994 and 1995.
1995 to 2006 – Peterborough Lakers Major Lacrosse Club
Co-sponsor and Honourary Vice- President of the Peterborough Lakers Major club since 1995. Bob Joseph served as a special advisor and co-sponsor of the Lakers Lacrosse club. The Lakers won the Mann Cup in 2004 and 2006. Lakers president Ted Higgins credits Joseph with helping to keep the team afloat.
“Bob had always followed our junior team,” said Higgins. “He started coming to the odd one of our games and he was a small sponsor at one time but we got really down and out there for a time. Bob made some pretty hefty payments for three years in a row to help me keep this thing going and I’m deeply indebted to him for that.”
“We became Canadian champs and we can thank Bob for helping to keep it alive. I was telling him a while ago, I said, Bob, if you hadn’t been around I think I might have just let it go. It was too much for me.”
1999 – Inducted into the Kingston and District Sports Hall of Fame
In 1999 Mr. Joseph was inducted into the Kingston and District Sports Hall of Fame in recognition for his 30 years of service to lacrosse.

2005 – Inducted as a Life Member into the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame
In the year 2005, Mr. Joseph was inducted as a Life Member into the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame. As many of you know, this award has only been bestowed a few dozen times in the history of the game. As Dean McLeod once stated “I’m a life member, I’ve been elected to the Brampton Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and also the Ontario one, but it’s a higher honour to be elected Life Member.”
2005
Although too ill to attend many of their games, Mr. Joseph was an avid supporter of the Ottawa Titans Junior 'A' team. He found tremendous satisfaction in knowing that the best junior age lacrosse players in Eastern Ontario finally had a team they could play for.
And that lacrosse fans across Eastern Ontario had their own team to cheer on.
