ESTEVAN - While it was a challenging season for the Estevan Lacrosse Association, they still managed to provide fun for the kids registered.

The under-16 (U16) Estevan Voltz competed in league play and went to provincials. In league play, they tied their first game of the season, which was their lone game at Affinity Place. 

They had five away games, which they lost.

At provincials from July 23-25, the Voltz went 1-3. They opened with a 10-7 loss to the Regina Predators, a game that was tied 4-4 until the Predators pulled away. Kersey Hollingshead and Chase Foord scored twice, while Tanner Hall, Tye Farnsworth and Braden Thompson also scored for Estevan.

The next game was a 6-1 loss to the Saskatoon Thunderbirds. Hall had Estevan’s lone goal.

The Voltz then dropped a 7-5 decision to the Swift Current Rampage. Ryder Farnsworth had two markers for Estevan, and Foord, Colby Lemke and Braxton Dukart had the other goals for Estevan, who rallied from a 4-2 deficit to lead 5-4 at one point in what was a back and forth contest.

Estevan then defeated the Moose Jaw Mustangs 9-8 in a shootout. Hall had six goals for Estevan; his last one came with 38 seconds to play to tie the contest. Tye Farnsworth and Lemcke also scored for Estevan.

As for the other age groups, Cameron Milbrandt, Porter Crossman and Hunter Wagstaff joined the Lumsden team for U14 league play, and Wagstaff and Crossman were on the U14 team for provincials.

Some of the U12 players went to a tournament at Standing Buffalo alongside some kids from Carnduff. The Carnduff team won the tournament.

Nathan Wagstaff was picked up by the Junior A Saskatoon Swat program, and is the youngest rookie on that club. He’s currently part of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League.  

Kaden Chrest is playing with the Regina Barracudas program.

Cecile Seemann with Estevan Lacrosse said they had 65 kids registered for box lacrosse from their six-and-under group to U16s. The younger teams had practices that ended at the end of June.

They also had 21 registered for the first year of field lacrosse in Estevan. Field lacrosse will practise Mondays and Wednesdays until the end of August. They started practising on May 16, and had a break due to commitments with box lacrosse. Seemann said it went well this year, and she hopes more kids will sign up next year.
