  • Dean-Mcleod-Lester-B-Pearson-Award
    ONTARIO LESTER B. LACROSSE PEARSON ASSOCIATION AWARD - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - DEAN MCLEOD NAMED AS 2021 LESTER B. PEARSON AWARD RECIPIENT TORONTO, ON – Lacrosse Canada has announced that Dean McLeod will be presented with the 2021 Lester B. Pearson Award. The Pearson Award is presented annually to members of the Canadian lacrosse community in recognition of their unselfish dedication and outstanding contributions of sportsmanship and distinguished leadership to the game of lacrosse and to the physical and mental development of young Canadians. McLeod’s devotion, work ethic, focus and sustained commitment to the Ontario Junior “A” Lacrosse League, and to lacrosse in his hometown of Brampton, have been exemplary. Born in Brampton, Ontario in 1945, Dean has been involved in lacrosse at virtually every position possible. However, in 1982, he took on the role for which he is most commonly identified when he became Commissioner of the Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior “A” League; a position he held for over three and a half decades. At the end of the 2018 Ontario Lacrosse season, he officially announced his retirement as commissioner, ending a 37-year continuous years of service to the league. When asked for his initial response to hearing that he was named the Pearson Award recipient, Mr. McLeod stated, “When Terry Rowland (Lacrosse Canada Director of Marketing) telephoned me and told me I had been selected the 2021 recipient of the Lester B. Pearson Award, and along with it comes Life Membership through Lacrosse Canada, I was completely dumbfounded! What an unsuspected honour to have my name now sit alongside all of the great past winners of this award.
