Junior lacrosse is back in action for the 2023 season.
This season marks some exciting changes and developments for the Cranbrook Lacrosse Association. Most notably the announcement of a new name and logo, the Cranbrook Blackwolves (ka·kin). The Blackwolves will be showing off their new team colors and hosting the travelling teams on a newly installed professional turf.
The Cranbrook Blackwolves name and logo allow the Cranbrook Lacrosse Association to adopt many aspects, both direct and subtle, that align with the Indigenous roots of the game.
The Blackwolves dominated the first weekend of play with two wins on the road in High River and Calgary. The home opener is scheduled for May 6 and 7 at the Cranbrook Memorial Arena.
The team ended the 2022 season as Alberta provincial champions in Junior B, Tier 2. They also went undefeated during the regular season. They are looking to continue their success this season. Cranbrook had the best fans in the RMLL, Tier 2 division last season and the team is excited to welcome back its loyal fan base.
The season opener will surely be a crowd pleaser as they take on the Strathmore Venom on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and the Calgary Axemen on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Entrance is by donation. There will be a concession, beer garden and chance to win a 50/50 draw.
Come meet your 2023 Junior Blackwolves this weekend at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena!
