The Spirit of All Nations.
SIX NATIONS – Is it safe to call the Six Nations Rebels a Jr. B lacrosse dynasty? Other teams in the loop have had successful seasons, but the Rebels franchise is getting ridiculous. The total domination of the division and the league continued Friday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena with a 22-2 pummeling of the Hamilton Bengals. Sunday they defeated Far East divisional leaders, the Akwesasne Indians14-7.
There is little question that what the white man found when he washed up on our shores was a free and fearless people. But rather than learn our ways and study how a people could live without kings, queens, courts and prisons or slavery, discrimination and class warfare, the church – the very thing that created many of these institutions and practices – was relied upon to spread all of it to a free world.
OHSWEKEN – About 50 community members gathered at the Six Nations Landfill Site yesterday morning to let John Kearns of Kearns International know that his system for disposing of the community’s waste was no longer welcome on the territory.
Let’s look at reality. When it comes to disposing of our garbage I too have concern for the environment. In my opinion, and my opinion only, it seems some people’s concern for the environment is short sighted. All we have now to dispose of our garbage is a dump, just a plain old dump.
This past weekend I was invited to speak at the local March Against Monsanto. From farmers, to students, to politicians, each speaker shared compelling reasons…
SIX NATIONS – Six Nations Jr. B Rebels’ 19-year-old attacker Daniel “Bo” Henhawk is a modern young man with a strong sense of tradition, even when it comes to the game he loves – lacrosse, the Creators’ game. He is one of only two Rebels wielding a hickory stick. The other is Alex Martin.
HAMILTON — The Hamilton Bengals didn’t know what hit them Friday night at the Dave Andrechuk arena when the Six Nations Rebels unleashed its power on the host team with a 24-3 bombardment.
OHSWEKEN – It was touch and go as the clouds gathered over the Ohsweken Speedway for the second attempt at a season opener Friday night. The event was originally planned for last week, but was rained out as was the tune up pre-season runs the week before, but the rain stayed away and the cars finally ran this Friday with a full docket of drivers in every class.
SIX NATIONS – Monday night in Burlington the Six Nations Arrows Express defeated the Burlington Chiefs by a score of 9-8. It took a goal by Haodais Maracle with 40 seconds remaining in the game to do it, but the Arrows third period collapse very nearly resulted in the Arrows’ first loss of the season.
Fewer things are more distinctly Six Nations than Bread and Cheese Day. For those of you who don’t have a clue what I am talking about, allow me to explain.
SIX NATIONS – Is it possible to have too good of a lacrosse team? If so, the Six Nations Rebels are guilty as charged. Many lacrosse insiders believe that at this point in the season, the Jr. B Rebels would beat most Jr. A clubs anywhere in Canada.
CALEDONIA – After tripping over the starting gate in the GOJHL semi-finals by dropping Game #1, 3-2, in Caledonia on Tuesday Mar. 11th, and requiring OT to win Game #2, 2-1, the Pro-Fit Corvairs began looking more like the team they have been all season on Sunday night in Caledonia.
TORONTO – Powered by an 11 point outburst by Cody Jamieson, the Rochester Knighthawks slipped by the Toronto Rock, 17-12, in a come-from-behind thriller at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Saturday night, to keep the third place Rock at bay and the next day, in Philadelphia, moved into a first place tie with the Buffalo Bandits with an 11-7 win over the Wings.
The Barrie Blizzard spoiled the Ohsweken Demons’ perfect season in their last game before the playoffs, at the ILA Saturday night in a surprising 16-14 win over the first place Demons.
SIX NATIONS – You would have to know the C-Lax rulebook well to follow Saturday’s 14-10 win by the Ohsweken Demons over the visiting Durham Turfdogs.
