COLLECTOR SERIES LIMITED EDITION PRINTS

GAYLORD By: Gordon Fiddler

Gaylord is the eighth (2006) in a series of limited edition prints produced by the Canadian Lacrosse Foundation to honour the game of lacrosse and one of its greatest coaches and builders - the late Jim Bishop.

The original artwork for this piece, as well as future originals, will be presented each year as the "Jim Bishop Memorial Award" to the Minto Cup (National Junior 'A' Championship) athlete who best exemplifies leadership, skill, sportsmanship, and the spirit of the game.

Canadian lacrosse legend passes away at his home in the Six Nations reserve. One of the great playmakers of all time, Powless had 824 career assists, eighth-best in the combined Lacrosse Association Major/Senior and professional history.

His Junior career, 1964 to 1967, was spent as the centerpiece of the almost unbeatable Oshawa Green Gaels, coached by legendary Jim Bishop, where he twice was awarded the Ken Ross Trophy for ability and sportsmanship, twice awarded the Jim McConaghy Memorial Cup as the most valuable player of the Minto Cup finals, and four times won the points in the OLA Junior A, Senior A and Major; Western Lacrosse Association; National Lacrosse League action.

Gaylord was 54, his accomplishments on the floor will live forever as a testament to his family, the game, the sport and his people

The painting, by Gordon Fiddler from Couchenour, ON and Sandy Lake First Nation, represents the Spirit of the Lacrosse Player. The Eagle Spirit represents Couarage and Flight of the Player.

The Canadian Lacrosse Foundation's goal is to create a strong future for the game during this time of government cutbacks. In purchasing this print you are investing in the future of Lacrosse. The Foundation will pursue worthwhile projects to help grow the game that would otherwise not be addressed.
