BRITISH COLUMBIA — On November 26, the Arena Lacrosse League West Women’s Division welcomed 80 out of 120 players to the Langley Field House to kick start the 2022-2023 season with a first-ever combine.
Players were pre-divided up into three groups and put through a session of skills and drills, followed by a scrimmage with their group. This allowed for coaches to fairly evaluate each of our players and goalies. From these evaluations the 2022-2023 league staff will form a draft to pick their players to make up six teams.
The combine sparked international interest as we were joined by two members of the US women’s box lacrosse team San Diego Palms, Amanda Chasin and Kelsey Cue. Special guest Michell Bowyer, a Team Canada alumni and women’s lacrosse advocate also attended. Photo submitted by Samantha Smith with notes from arenalacrosseleague.com.
