OLE SMOKES

Welcome back everyone , After 2 years off, it looks like we will have lacrosse a regular lacrosse season for 2022, at least more regular then we have in the past 2 years. Although there will still be some restrictions that we will need to follow for our coaches , adult players and spectators this season should be normal for our players . This year the County Sportplex decided to keep the ice in all year so we will be holding our practices at the Leisure center .  This year I am hopeful that we will have enough interest to have a rec team which will be open to our junior and senior age players who want to get out and scrimmage and non players who want to get out and experience lacrosse for the first time .    We will be back to game play in Edmonton with the GELC this year with tentative game play weekends of April 30, May 13th, June 4th and June 18th and then if all goes well provincials in Calgary in July. U6 and U8 players will join us for two of the regular season game play weekends . We are always in need of extra coaches so if you have taken the coaching clinic already and can wish to help that would be wonderful and if you have not but are interested please let me know and I can see if they are intending on having more virtual clinics this year .  Registration will open Monday January 24th with two weeks of early bird registration before we get into our regular registration costs . And if your player needs a bit of a brush up or wants to try lacrosse out for the first time , we still have our free drop ins Wed nights from 6-8 at the leisure center right up until the start of the season. These drop ins are made possible by a generous donation from Ole Smokes Coffee so next time you are thinking about getting a coffee, please give them a try.  

And as always if you have any questions , concerns or comments please feel to reach out at
