  • Play June 2021
    WELCOME BACK TO IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN 1 | 12 a message from ONTARIO LACROSSE about this Return to Play Guide The Ontario Lacrosse Association is proud to be a leading lacrosse community both at home in Canada and throughout the world where our members can enjoy, value and celebrate the benefits of active participation and excellence in women’s field lacrosse, minor & men’s field lacrosse and box lacrosse. Since 1994, lacrosse has been declared Canada’s Official Summer Sport. It is a fundamental part of our heritage, and we look forward to being together again to play, coach, officiate and watch this great game. In January of 2020, the Province of Ontario identified the first recorded case of COVID-19 in Canada. Since that time, the world we knew changed drastically. The OLA’s Board of Directors and Return to Activity Task Force members carefully examined available resources to eventually navigate the process for and possibility of returning to play, while remaining committed to our foundation of prioritizing the health, safety and wellbeing of the Ontario Lacrosse community. As the final installment of our Return to Activity series, this Game On! Guide lays out the general requirements to create a safe environment to protect our sanctioned members at all levels and disciplines of play. We recognize that players, coaches, officials, team support staff and administrators will all need to make adjustments as we transition back to play in the middle of our traditional lacrosse season, and our path will be guided by common sense and flexibility throughout the 2021 season.

  • 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.

Sprague is a 23-year veteran from Ottawa and this is his fifth posting to Afghanistan.

They’ve sent some pictures and intend to shoot some video of their games and post it on the internet. “They look young,” said Richardson. “I was shocked by the age of some of those kids.”To be able to see the game we have so much pas- sion for bringing some enjoyment to these guys that are putting their life on the line was a good way to start the new year for myself when I got that e-mail on New Year’s Day.” Contributed Photo Richardson intends to something, such as an Canadian troops in Kandahar receive lacrosse equipment as an early Christmas present armed forces night, for the troops during the Western Lacrosse Association season.
