“In 1965 a bunch of local North Glenora kids decided to explore a new game that was being introduced called “Lacrosse“. It looked fun, and we thought about giving it a try. It turned out that through lacrosse we bonded as friends and as a team dedicated to a sport in which we learned to love. We had no gameboys, no Xbox, and our virtual reality was catching and throwing a ball and the skills that came with it and to learn to play physically. Over the years, the team became even closer, and through road trips and competitions, the bonds increased to the point that even 50+ years later, we still get together and still talk about the great times we experienced. So you might say that lacrosse was one of the best things in our lives.”
