I need to introduce the bf to Canada’s national sport!
I want to go so I can take my niece!! She’s just started playing lacrosse in Langley this year – she’s the smallest girl in the league by far, but she’s fearless and has earned the nickname “Mighty Mouse”.
I played lacrosse for 20 years in the UK but haven’t played since I moved to Vancouver. Would love to get back into it.
I’ve never been to a lacrosse game before and would love to watch it
I like watching lacrosse on tv but I’ve never been to a game In person!
We use to go to games quite regularly, but haven’t been in 5 years.
Would love to take my son!!
My son and I enjoy going to these games. It is like watching hockey in the summer.
