About Knights Lacrosse

The Nepean Knights Lacrosse Association (NKMLA) provides youth in western Ottawa with the opportunity to play box lacrosse. The mission of the NKMLA is to provide a minor box lacrosse program for youth (boys and girls) aged 4 to 20 living in western Ottawa and the surrounding area. NKMLA promotes the sport of lacrosse in Ottawa and the surrounding area. NKMLA also attempts to foster sportsmanship, fair play and differing levels of competitiveness in a safe and trusted environment; it endeavours to provide local youth with the opportunity to raise their self-esteem through the values of goal-setting, discipline, trust, responsibility and respect for self and others, enabling them to establish a framework for personal improvement that is applicable to all areas of life.

The Association is run by volunteers who are dedicated to growing the sport of lacrosse and to helping young people in this region.

NorthStar Lacrosse Program a Success

The 2010 Iqaluit lacrosse camp – held from August 23-27, 2010 – was a resounding success. A few months ago, midget-aged Nepean Knights player Noah Hoselton approached the Nepean Minor Lacrosse Association about helping launch a lacrosse camp in Iqaluit, Nunavut to combat teen suicide among Inuit. The association jumped on board to offer its help by supplying equipment and jerseys and support to get the camp up and running.
