2024 Wolves Lacrosse Association Preseason Newsletter

Celebrating 50 Years of Wolves Lacrosse

Once you put a lacrosse stick in a youngster’s hands, just watch the gleam in their eyes. Another lacrosse season is about to begin as everyone is excited and eager to throw that first pass, score that first goal or make an unbelievable save. This is why it is the fastest game on two feet, this is why it is the fastest growing sport in North America and around the world, this is why our First Nations forefathers introduced the Creator’s Game to provide medicine and life lessons for a strong mind, strong body, and strong spirit. That is LACROSSE! 

In 2024 as a player, parent, or volunteer with the Wolves Lacrosse Association, you will become part of our history as we celebrate 50 strong years promoting, developing, and playing the game of lacrosse in the communities that fall within our boundaries. Since our first face-off at Sackville Arena in 1974, the Wolves (also known as Sackville Lakers) can boast being the longest-established minor lacrosse organization in Eastern Canada. Throughout those years many great players, coaches and volunteers have come and gone and their love for the game as well as commitment to the sport continues to thrive with those today who carry the torch. To our past we thank you. To our future, we welcome all to experience the fun and excitement the game has to offer.

Sports participation is vital to the development of our youth. Benefits are far-reaching and life-long, including improved physical, social and emotional health, enhanced confidence, academic success, leadership opportunities and so much more. For five decades, the Wolves Lacrosse brand has continued its objectives of inclusion, diversity and gender equality respecting the Creator’s wishes in a game for all.

Welcome to the 2024 season and let us start the celebration. You will experience an extraordinary year as many events are being planned. The Sackville Arena will once again be the hub of lacrosse in the province. Look for special merchandise to commemorate this special year. Let us get started and pick up that lacrosse stick. Come on you know you want to.

Run with the Wolves

Wolves Lacrosse Association's Weekly Bingo Fundraiser: Uniting Members and Growing the Sport

With a shared commitment to nurturing the sport of lacrosse and providing opportunities for our members, the Wolves Lacrosse Association proudly hosts our weekly bingo fundraiser—this weekly event not only supports our organization but also fosters a sense of unity among our community. Every week, community members, players, families, and supporters gather at the Sackville community center, anticipation sparking in the air. The bingo hall transforms into a hub of activity, buzzing with laughter and friendly competition. But beyond the thrill of marking numbers on bingo cards lies a deeper purpose: to ensure the continued growth and success of our sport.

At its core, our weekly bingo fundraiser serves as a vital lifeline for the Wolves Lacrosse Association. The funds generated play an instrumental role in covering various expenses, from equipment and maintenance to floor time and tournament fees. Without the unwavering support of our members, sustaining our programs and initiatives would prove challenging. We need your commitment!

The significance of this fundraiser extends far beyond its financial contributions. It serves as a powerful catalyst for community engagement and involvement. By participating in or volunteering to help run our weekly bingo event, members actively contribute to the collective success of our organization. Whether they're calling out numbers, selling tickets, or assisting with setup and cleanup, every individual effort fuels our shared mission.

In essence, the Wolves Lacrosse Association's weekly bingo fundraiser is more than just a fundraising event; it's a testament to the power of teamwork and the enduring strength of our lacrosse community. As we come together week after week, we reaffirm our commitment to the sport we love and lay the foundation for a brighter future—one bingo number at a time.
