There was plenty to celebrate last week at the B.C. Lacrosse Association’s Annual General Meeting, where some hardware was handed out.
The New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association was presented with the Leon Hall Merit Award as the Minor Box Lacrosse Association of the Year.
The annual award goes to the minor association, regardless of size, which strives to foster and promote the ideas of the BCLA and works to improve, promote and develop all facets of the game within the community.
It is the third time in the past nine years that the New West association has picked up the honour – previous times were in 2008 and 2011.
“Thank you to all NWMLA players, parents and volunteers for helping our association win this fabulous award,” president Rich Catton said in a press release. “We couldn’t do it without all of you.”
