TREVOR WINGROVE TOURNAMENT AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS

Coquitlam, BC – June 16, 2022 – After a long two-year wait, the Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament was back and did not disappoint. The growth of our game was on full display with two new female divisions. The Coquitlam Adanacs won gold in the Female Midget Division and USBOXLA won its first gold medal at this prestigious tournament in the Female Bantam Division.

Alberta and USBOXLA sent 5 teams and there were a total of 28 teams participating in 5 divisions in this annual showcase of the best A1 teams across PeeWee, Bantam, and Midget. It was an incredible weekend of the best young talent in the west.

It is so encouraging to see young female box lacrosse players, the future stars of the game, having the opportunity to play in female divisions in the prestigious Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament for the first time since its inception.  Tournaments such as these are a very important part of the competitive pathway for girls wanting to play box lacrosse at the highest level.  Thanks to Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse and the Wingrove family for supporting girls box lacrosse and I look forward to seeing girls playing in this tournament in the years ahead
