Local Juniors Battle

July 6, 2011 the Eclipse hosted the Jr. Miners at Bill Hunter resulting in a 10 - 7 win for the home team. A hot summer night with the sound of thunder in the background, the old Jasper Place arena as it has for half a century witnessed another classic game. Amongst the crowd were many local lacrosse legends (like me), remembering our glory days on the same floor decades earlier. The first period was low key ending in a 2 - 2 draw. The secong belonged to the Eclipse who scored 5, another draw in the third. A plethora of fisticuffs in the third where a number of former Blues and Team Alberta players were able to get reaquainted and spend some quality time together in the box. R. Thompson and Lorentz each scored a pair, Kinnear, Mackenzie and Sullivan netted singles.
