Lacrosse is Canada's national summer sport and the team is having a good 2018 season.
Volunteers help win championships. Thank you Lisa and Trevor for feeding the team last week. Approx stats: 450 meals: 50 lbs of meat + 18 lbs of pasta + 192 eggs + 72 bananas + 216 sandwiches/wraps + 10 lbs of raw veggies + 14 lbs of yoghurt + 120 pancakes = 1 Founders Cup!
We also don't win without these three young coaches (Harrison Jones, Riley Ash, Sam Firth) who moved from Knights players to coaches, sharing their passion for and knowledge of lacrosse with our players. Thank you!
Congrats to Connor Nock on a huge Minto Cup win! His second Minto Cup and third National Championship in as many years! โ๏ธโ๏ธ

Our defence was fabulous this year! Always a group effort with no weak links but, goalie Thomas Kiazyk had a season to remember.
Thomas went 29-0 between regular season, playoffs, and Founders Cup and had a GAA of 4.55 in those games! โ๏ธโ๏ธ
The worst part about a junior season ending is saying goodbye to graduating players. Thank you Tristan Nicholson, Joe Gasperetti, Nolan Downey and Josh Warren for a great run. Knights and teammates always.
Our captain

What's happening? Lacrosse is happening! We will play for the first time in nearly two years, tonight vs. Gloucester @ Merivale arena. Fans are restricted, unfortunately. The game will be recorded and shared afterward. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this happen!

While weโre doing stats, it would a shame not to mention that Willem is the first player to win both the MVP and rookie of the year since 2005!
In 2005, the only other player to accomplish this feat was goalie Justin Delormier of the Ottawa Titans!
