Laurentian University Lacrosse Program

2005 Wrap Up

Back in January 2005 a group of about thirty Laurentian students interested in lacrosse, Canada’s national summer sport, got together and played a non-contact co-ed version of the game (known as interlax) on weekends in the Alphonse Raymond gymnasium. Encouraged by the turn-out, the leader of the group, Sport Psychology major Caleb Leduc, sought recognition from the SGA and set up a table in mid-September 2005 during club days. Some 200 students, men and women, full and part-time, put their names on the list, and about 40 to 50 made it out regularly in the weeks to come. On the goose poop covered field in the centre of the oval track, the Laurentian Lacrosse Club played fun games of non-contact lacrosse every Thursday evening. But some "hardcore" members wanted a bit more competitive play. So each Thursday the first hour was set aside for the interlax games, and then about 35 people stayed behind to learn more about field lacrosse. The men’s squad was coached by Dr. George Sheppard, an associate professor in the school of education and a longtime player, while Kim Leger-Frawley, an LU alumnus and former member of the Ontario and Canadian women’s field lacrosse teams, agreed to help out with the ladies’ squad. Suddenly, Laurentian had a competitive club lacrosse programme.

House League Program

Our association stesses the importance of fair play while having fun. We want our players not only to develop their lacrosse skills but to also develop social and interpersonal skills that will hopefully make our players better citizens. For this to happen we need a group of interested adults that will work with our players to teach them the game and the life skills we hope to instill in them. We are currently looking for individuals to act as coaches and conveners for all teams and divisions. If you would be interested in helping out with our house league program in any capacity, contact Vicki Hood 705-677-0928 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Our house league program consists of 7 divisions ranging from age 4 to age 19. The divisions are listed below according to the year the player was born.
