If you hear or see Knights news in the media, let us know and if you have a story, that you want to share, such as the one below from Peewee House League player Michael M., please send it to our media relations person, Matt Firth at Knights Media Relations
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that last week we heard the results of my sons lacrosse house league game announced on the CBC radio’s sports report and we were just thrilled. Michael listens every morning to John Hancock’s reports to catch up on the hockey games before going to school. When he heard his own lacrosse team being mentioned it was really exciting. Many thanks to the publicity representative for making an 11 year old feel like a star! This is our first experience with lacrosse and my son is having a blast, we thank you and the all the team that has put together this year’s house league,
Heather M. and Michael M.
Arena Damages — Important Message to Parents and Players
Recently there were signs damaged at John Mlacak Arena by players throwing the balls in the arena. The City has informed us that not only are the Knights responsible for cost of replacing the signs, but we will also lose access to the arena if there is any further damage caused by lacrosse players. There are only a few arenas available to us play lacrosse in and we cannot afford to lose access to any of those, nor can we afford to pay for damages. Parents and players are reminded that there will be no wall-ball outside of the arena floor, and parents and players will be held responsible for any damage incurred.
