Lacrosse Cares Head Shaving Event

In support of Troy Henry and the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre some local people are hosting a Lacrosse Cares Head Shaving Event on Thursday, July 17th at Iroquois Sports Centre in Whitby.

 

We are establishing the number of participants and teams who are willing to join us at this event.  Please communicate with your team and let us know if you are joining us.  $20 in pledges will get a head shave and every additional $20 raised will get you a ballot for a chance to win some great prizes including a chance to win a Wii Package!!  We already have teams lining up.  And a couple of brave grown ups!  (If anyone wants to donate hair, a minimum of 8″ from the ponytail is required.)

 

Some of you may know Troy as a referee in the Zone 6, Women’s Lacrosse and Whitby Minor Lacrosse programs; you may know him as a lacrosse volunteer and coach or as a teacher.  This Spring, Troy was diagnosed with cancer.  We thank him for giving us permission to host a fun event where kids and kids at heart can show their care and support.  He truly appreciates the kind words and everyone’s support and care. 

 

100% of the proceeds will benefit the Cancer Centre in our Community.  We thank Troy for letting us show our support and we hope that you are able to show your support and participate in our event – sponsorship, pledges or participants or volunteers!

 

Please contact anyone below for more information, or contact Tammy for pledge forms.

 

Thank you for caring.

We are diappointed that so far no Master teams have been submitted OLA so the League Day that we expected to particpate in June 21st did not materialize…at this time we do not see there will be a Master Travel team opportunity.

 

Travelling Box Team Ready to Hit the Road!

 

It looks like the Travelling Box team is set and we are pleased to announce the acquisition of Paul Stewart as head coach.  Paul is from Oshawa and has extensive coaching experience, the last two years of which were spent as assistant coach of the New York Titans, one of the newer NLL teams.  We’re looking forward to a very exciting season and would love your support at our home games.  

The Travelling Master teams already had Jason Richards and Gary Mark announced as the head coaches for our two teams.  Team Rosters have been provided to the coaches and they’ll be in touch with the players very soon!

Don’t miss the Provincial Playoffs.  The DWLL will be hosting the single day tournaments for both Senior Box and Masters, August 10th and August 16th.  We’ll keep you updated on the team’s progress throughout the season.
