Prince George will be the place to be for lacrosse action this weekend as Kin 1 and 2 host the Glen “Moose” Scott Invitation Senior “C” Provincials this weekend.
“It’s been six years since we’ve hosted, so we get to see the best of C ball in B.C.,” said Prince George Senior Lacrosse Association (PGSLA) Commissioner Don Wittmeier.
“We have four champions in each league and then three other teams that have joined in.”
Included in the field are two Prince George teams, the Prince George Assault and the reigning PGSLA Champs, the Scamp Transport Devils.
“We went to the Provincials last year in Kelowna, but it was kind of a mixed team, it wasn’t like our full squad,” said PGSLA Deputy Commissioner Jamie Bellamy.
“We had players from a few of the other Prince George teams as well as some players from Langley that kind of merged together.”
Bellamy said that team didn’t fare too well, so they’re looking to put on a good show.
For the Assault, Bellamy said the team has a good core of young players.
“They’ve got Logan Hauck and the two Moleski brothers that are strong, talented offensive players,”
“They’re adding some players from the Bandits and the Mackenzie teams as well.”
In terms of the teams coming to Prince George, Bellamy said there’s plenty of talent that will be on display this weekend.
“The Kelowna team has won the last two provincial championships, in each of those, they’ve played against Port Coquitlam in the final, Port Coquiltam’s won it multiple times before,”
“There’s a team coming up from the Island, a relative unknown, I don’t know a lot about their roster but they’re the Island champions so I’m sure going to be a strong squad as well. We’ve also got Mission rounding out the out-of-town teams as well.”
The first game of the tournament will take place Friday morning at 11:00 am in Kin 1 between the Assault and Mission.
