It was the Team Canada (Molson Canadians) Grand Masters Field Lacrosse Team vs Team World (Mason Allstars).
We were playing at the beautiful Toronto Rock Athletic Centre (TRAC). in Oakville.
This Lacrosse facility is state of the art..and if you are a lacrosse player, or fan, I highly reccomend that you drop by and check out this place.
Today was a great opportunity to work off some Christmas Turkey, and get in some exercise.
The Molson Canadians are preparing to travel to Denver in July for The World Field Lacrosse Championships and compete in the Grand Masters Division (50 plus) against some tough competition. Our team is looking for games indoors and outdoors leading up to Denver.
This game was a lot of fun. Competetive, fast (in relative old man terms) and close.
The Young guns went out fast and were quickly up 2 to 0 before the old guys even had their Volteran beginning to work. But, the boys came back, and quickly it was 2 - 2. Game on.
From there it was a seesaw affair most of the day. The goaltenders on both sides were solid - playing in the big NLL Nets...which of course are a whopping 5" wider than the regular box lacrosse nets.
The Molson Canadians led the game late 10 to 8 and when Team World scored with just over a minute to play to make it 10 to 9 it was anybodies game. Team Canada's goalie Brad Sanderson would stand tall though and would preserve the win for the Denver Bound Squad.
Team Canada 10 Team World 9
Great game - Great fun.
The Countdown to Dnver is on.
