On Wednesday evening, the Ontario Lacrosse Association approved the move of the Major
Series Lacrosse Brampton Excelsiors to Owen Sound. The franchise, owned by Joe Norton, will
play out of the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre when the 2021 MSL season hopes to
begin play.
“At last night’s Board of Governors meeting, the move of Brampton to Owen Sound finally has
been resolved,” MSL commissioner Doug Luey said. “I couldn’t be happier to have this situation

Caledon Minor Bandits Lacrosse President Guy Dorval has been working on a new plan for game play, but says it probably won’t happen this year due to COVID-19.
The Kitchener native moved to Bolton in 1997 with a rich background in the sport. He played all his life and, when his children joined the organization in 2007, he got back into coaching.
He was one of the many coaches to witness the rise and fall of lacrosse in the town.
The organization folded a few years and Dorval is working to revitalize not just the Caledon Minor Bandits but also the sport as a whole.

The Ontario Lacrosse Association through their Invitational Tournament Committee announced last week that traditional minor box lacrosse tournaments will not take place this season.
The decision was based on the current environment of COVID-19 cases in Ontario and was reached in conjunction with public health restrictions and the OLA’s policy of Return to Action and Return to Play.
The underlying view was that taking all factors into consideration conducting lacrosse tournaments as done for decades in a typical season was not realistically possible.
The OLA remains hopeful for Spring, Summer and Fall play, and the tournament committee is preparing options that could be implemented once the existing conditions improve.

It appears that there s another new lacrosse league on the horizon.
The league seems to have arisen after the OLA rejected a bid by the OJALL to extend its age range to include 22-year-olds at a vote late last year. The TLL plans to include players aged 18 to 22 and play a 20-game schedule with its championship concluding in August, before players attending college in the United States have to return to school.
Similar to the Canadian Lacrosse League, which is expected to commence play with 16-20-year-olds in 2022 and which is directly involved with running International Indoor Junior Lacrosse s World Junior Lacrosse Championship, the TLL will play by National Lacrosse League rules, including having four 15-minute quarters instead of three 20-minute periods and banning the large and/or wooden sticks used by goalies in most of existing Canadian summer lacrosse.
