  • Ontario Lacrosse Association in Memoriam Ruby Lang, Mimico Mountaineers Matriach, Passes Away
    ONTARIO LACROSSE IN ASSOCIATION MEMORIAM Posted: March 16th, 2021 Updated: March 19th, 2021 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - RUBY LANG, MIMICO MOUNTAINEERS MATRIACH, PASSES AWAY TORONTO, ON – The Ontario Lacrosse Association is saddened to learn of the passing of Ruby Lang early this morning. The beloved matriarch of the Mimico Mountaineers Lacrosse Club, Ruby is an inspiration to everyone involved in continuing the hard work she dedicated to the club for over 50 years. An OLA Merv MacKenzie Award recipient (1990), OLA Life Member (1993), Thomas “Tip” Teather Trophy winner (2000), Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame Inductee (2002, Builder Category), the first ever OLA Golden Stick Award recipient marking 50 Years of Volunteer Service to the OLA (2017), Ruby was well-recognized by many in the lacrosse community for her countless contributions to the game. In 2008, Ruby Lang was honoured by the City of Toronto, alongside her best friend, Barb Cormier (pictured next to her in each of the photos on the following page), for their contributions to lacrosse in Mimico with streets named in their honour. Always together, and rarely apart, City Councillor Mark Grimes made sure that the streets Barb Cormier Heights and Ruby Lang Lane intersected. Despite being the recipient of so many lauded awards, Ruby preferred to work quietly in the background as a tireless volunteer of both the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame & Museum and the Mimico Mountaineers Minor Lacrosse Club. Known by everyone who passed through Mimico Arena and its outdoor predecessor, the Drummond Street Bowl, Ruby’s cheerful smile greeted lacrosse families from across the province who had the privilege of knowing her.

  • 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.
