May 14, in partnership with Valley Thunder Lacrosse, the East Coast Junior Lacrosse League will play at Kingston’s Credit Union Centre. On the floor are the Sackville Wolves and the St. Margaret's Bay Rebels. This is the highest level of amateur box lacrosse played on the East Coast; the National Lacrosse League brings its pro game to Halifax in December, with the launch of the Halifax Thunderbirds.
Valley Thunder Lacrosse’s own Cameron Jackman is on the Rebels’ roster. This Greenwood-raised athlete played and coached with Valley Thunder for a decade and was drafted in 2018 to the Junior A league. He played with the Sackville Wolves before heading to the Rebels to start the current season. He played his first season of field lacrosse in 2018 with Mount Allison in the Maritime University Field Lacrosse League, and was named rookie-of-the-year at Mount A at the year-end athletics closing in April.
Seven of-age Valley Thunder players were drafted in January by the ECJL, working their way through try-outs and camps in March and April. Rosters are still being finalized.
Valley Thunder is in its 11th season of programming for youth ages five to 17. Teams play in the Scotia Minor Lacrosse League and compete at Lacrosse Nova Scotia provincials. The club will host the 6th Apple Cup in the Berwick and Kingston rinks June 7 to 9, with an expected 25 teams from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The ECJLL returns June 8 at 4 p.m. for an Apple Cup marquee game, featuring its 2018 league winners, the Dartmouth Bandits, and the St. Margaret’s Bay Rebels.
Doors at the Kingston rink open May 14 at 6:45 p.m., with the warm-up underway at 7 p.m. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Adult admission is $5, students are $2 and youth under 12 are free. There will be a 50/ 50 draw and bake table fundraiser for Valley Thunder programs.
