Lacosse Spring09 Layout 1 RECEIVING A SCHOLARSHIP AND PLAYING LACROSSE AT Heading A U.S. COLLEGE IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT THE CHALLENGE OF MAINTAINING HIGH GRADES, WHILE KEEPING SOUTH UP WITH A DEMANDING LACROSSE SCHEDULE, IS // By Ryan McLean NOT ALWAYS AN EASY TASK n athletic scholarship to a United A States college is something few Canadians are offered — regardless of the sport they play. Whether it is basketball, football, hockey, soccer, baseball or swimming, just to name a few, the number of Canadians toiling in Division 1(D1) — or even Division 2 or 3 — athletics south of the border is really minute when one looks at the full scope and size of U.S. college sports. Lacrosse is no different than those other sports, but because of the high quality of play in Ontario and throughout Canada, many up-and- coming lacrosse stars are jumping at the chance to play at a U.S. college, while receiving a free or partially paid for education while doing so. One such player is Alison Daley, who suits up for Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. The 20- year-old goalkeeper from Peterborough, Ont., is enjoying her second year playing D1 lacrosse and is really making a name for her self. After a 2008 season in which she started all 18 games, posted a goals against average of 11.99, and was twice named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week, Daley is off to a good sophomore season boasting a 6-6 record in league play this year. Although she is enjoying her experience at Canisius, Daley does encourage young girls com- ing across the border to play lacrosse to keep in mind several important items. “Besides just looking at the lacrosse side of things, make sure that everything you are look- ing for academically is there,” says the former captain of the Kawartha Lacrosse Club. “Ulti- mately, once your four years are done at college, there is nothing left for women’s lacrosse, so you want to come out with a solid education.” This sentiment was echoed by team mate, Carley Quinn, while en route to a game earlier this season. “Young girls really need to decide whether they want to play Division 1, 2 or 3 lacrosse,” Alison Daley, Canisius College Photo: Canisius College 28 Ontario LACROSSE | Spring 2009 the Colonials in this his fresh- the season, we watch films after 5 p.m., and then man season, Matisz is work- do homework.

  • Canadian Men's Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009
    Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Prepared by J.P Donville Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Page | 1 Dedication At the heart of every great lacrosse club in Canada is someone like Brian Kruse. He’s the person that quietly puts in unbelievably long hours in support of lacrosse, and at one time or another holds virtually every role in the club organization including President, coach, registrar, and referee. And, he manages to do this, year in and year out, with a smile on his face. Brian Kruse, the driving force behind the Oakville Hawks Lacrosse Club and an important contributor to the Oakville Buzz Lacrosse Club and the Edge Lacrosse Club, lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. However, the mark that Brian has left on his community, his sport and thousands of kids, coaches and parents will go on forever. Like so many others, I assumed that Brian Kruse himself would go on forever – I never knew how sick he was until he was already gone. As such, I never had the chance to say thank you to Brian for all things that he had done for the Oakville Hawks and the sport of lacrosse generally. I therefore dedicate this inaugural edition of Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA to Brian Kruse. Thank you so much for all that you have done to make our community and our sport a much better place. You will be missed but never forgotten. Introduction The Toronto Nationals Lacrosse Team was formed in part to help develop and support the growth of field lacrosse in Canada.
