Under Armour Crosses and deBeer Gripper Pockets (1st March 2012)

 Good evening everyone,

 We have two important announcements for you with regards Crosses, please contact all your players / parents as soon as possible.

UNDER ARMOUR CROSSES
We have learnt that ‘Under Armour Crosses’ are now available for sale here in Canada. We checked the FIL Legal Crosse list, have clarified with Susie Ganzenmuller (FIL Women’s Sector Rules Committee Chair) and have discovered that these are not legal for play in Canada or outside the USA.

Please advise all your players and parents immediately of this development, to avoid any potential upset at OWFL games this year.

DEBEER GRIPPER POCKETS

Dear FIL / OWFL Member,

There were problems with the DeBeer Gripper (two piece) pocket at the FIL 2011 U19 Women’s World Championship.
The DeBeer Gripper pocket will remain legal until December 31, 2012.
From 1 January 2013, the DeBeer Gripper pocket will be NOT be a legal FIL pocket.

This information has been included on the Approved crosses list which can be found at http://www.filacrosse.com/?fileid=equipment

Kind regards,
Shelley Maher
FIL Women’s Director
www.filacrosse.com

If you or your parents have any questions regarding this or problems with replacing pockets or returning crosses please contact:
Marisa DiBari (OWFL Director of Officiating) marisa@armstrongpartnership.com or
Cheryl MacNeill (CLA Umpire in Chief) cdnwomenlax@hotmail.com

Thank You,
Stephen Taylor

An Important Message From Mena Briscoe

While acknowledging the separation between operating a Senior Women’s’ Lacrosse program and the Brampton Minor Girls Field program, the strength of the Excelsior’s Women’s’ field game and team become predicated by the work on field and off field done by our Senior Women’s’ Team.

2010 represents year 1 of our retooling of the program. This year we made the transition from B level Lacrosse to A level Lacrosse. We infused a couple of new players who have won at all levels and a new philosophy of accountability to this organization, the team, and your team mates. Commitment and dedication to increase skills, and playmaking through practice is our focus. Our goal is to be #1 in this province. We came very close to attaining that in year one with a 1 goal loss to the perennial champions but we let them know we are on their heels. The Excelsior Women will be a force to be reckoned with. Next year our squad will include some very talented graduates of our U19 program and as such the skill level will increase exponentially.

The Excelsior Women stepped up to mentor our Girls programs and guided them to achieve a Bronze medal in U15, and a Silver “A ” Medal in U19 “A “Provincials and Ontario Summer games. A big thank you goes out to Lyndsay Brooks, Emmi Morris, and Kaillie Briscoe for giving back to our Excelsior Family. They also umpired the OWL, assisted where ever required. The U14 Ontario Head Coach is also a Brampton Excelsior

I would be remiss in not recognizing our own Reg Ewles who coached our U19 #2 team to a Bronze finish.

The Excelsior women are giving back in all the ways that keep us as a premier association. They played, they coached, they umpired and they were involved at the provincial and national level of the game.

I look forward to 2011 and the bright future ahead for the Lady Excelsiors. I thank the BELC for the opportunity and support to guide the Women’s Excelsior Program.
