Gretzky on Lacrosse:

It is interesting to note what hockey great Wayne Gretzky wrote in his

National Post column in March, 2000:

"If sport has a high point of the year, it must be the first week of spring.  When I was growing up, I used to love this time of year.  It was when I put my hockey equipment away and I was absolutely ecstatic to see the end of the hockey season.  One of the worst things to happen to the game, in my opinion, has been year-round hockey and, in particular, summer hockey.  All it does for kids, as far as I can tell, is keep them out of sports they should be doing in the warmer weather.  I could hardly wait to get my lacrosse stick out and start throwing the ball against the walls and working on our moves as we played the lacrosse equivalent to road hockey.  All the good hockey players seemed to play lacrosse in those days and every one of them learned something from the game to carry over to the other - things athletes can only learn by mixing up the games they play when they are young."

2010 Hawks Nest:

Fort Erie Midget Lacrosse Team impresses other teams at Arthur Tournament

The Midget squad impressed the Arthur tournament officials and other teams at the Arthur Midget Tournament. The team played with only six players (no substitutes) and gained a lot of admiration from their coaching staff, their parents and the other teams in the tournament. There were larger crowds watching the Fort Erie team as word got around that they were playing with no subs.

The players were Raven Martin (Goalie), Evan Ashey, Mackenzie Core, Kyle Ashey, Chelsey Jackson and Dan Blocho.  Three are under-aged players. Evan is a Major Bantam and Mackenzie & Chelsey are Minor Bantams.

The first game was against Kawartha Lakes resulted in a 7-0 loss. Fort Erie allowed only 1 goal in the first period and 3 goals each in the other two periods. They actually out-shot Kawartha Lakes in the first period but could not get it in the net.

The second game was against North Perth resulted in a 7-1 loss. The score in the first period was 2-1 for North Perth. Dan Blocho scored from a pass from Mackenzie Core. Fort Erie allowed 3 goals in the second period and only two goals in third period. Raven Martin played excellent goal in the first period keeping the game within reach.

This team should be proud of itself by showing a lot of heart and determination.
