As some of you may know and some others may not, Lloydminster has been developing a Lacrosse league here. The league consist of TYKE, NOVICE, PEEWEE, BANTAM, MIDGET, and JR. This year Lloydminster will not be running a JR. level team program. In the past the team was known as the Trison Brutes if that brings any recognition to some people out there. We have had to put the JR. program on hold due to various reasons. Some of those reasons are that we don’t have enough MIDGET players moving up, some of the previous JR. players are too old now, and some in house issues that are being addressed now. I have to be blunt in also saying that  the less than enthusiastic support from our community, our media, sponsor support and some of our parents have also contributed to this unfortunate setback. We seem to put so much emphasis on HOCKEY in this community that all the other great sports are left in the shadows. Over a three year period this JR. team has gone from being in a Tier 2 division, the following year droped down to a Tier 3 division, making it to the Provincial’s, and ultimately this year having no team. We are in the process of working with Kitscoty to try and form a JR. team that will play in the Tier 3 division to try help out those kids that still want to play this year. We must continue moving forward to strengthen this league to have a place for our future kids from the other levels to play. All parties that are involved in this sport will tell all out there that if you could support this sport, in any way at all, it would be very successful and also just come out and see that this sport provides; on the edge of your seat action, extreme skill and endurance, and complete teamwork.
