Thank You For A Successful Tournament
I wanted to thank everyone that to came to Edmonton for the 2008 Canadian Field Lacrosse Championships. From all accounts the tournament was a success. The weather held off, the teams played hard and all had a good time. Much of the success was due to the commitment of the teams and their coaches, the officials and the parents that supported the Athletes commitment to play at this level.
Personally the success would have not been possible without the commitment of all the volunteers, from our CLA Convener to the Ball Boys that dedicated hundreds of hours of time to have this event succeed in such a positive manner.
Congratulations to all the teams and individual performances. And a big THANK YOU to each and every volunteer. As well as our major sponsors Alberta Recreation, Sport and Wildlife Foundation, City of Edmonton, Canadian Lacrosse Association and the Greater Edmonton Lacrosse Council. This could not have been done without you.
