One year after its formation, Manitoba's first lacrosse league for teenage girls is preparing to host the nationals as the sport takes off across the province.
An enthusiastic group of teenage girls are hoping to leave a legacy in the Manitoba lacrosse world as the sport gains traction among among girls across the province.
“It’s been a big sport in other parts of the country but for Manitoba, it tells people the local community that this is the real deal,” Matt Mason, executive director of Manitoba Lacrosse said. “It’s a game they can play and an opportunity they can have. Hopefully it inspires a lot of young girls to start playing the sport.”
Only one year after the launch of The Herd, the organization is already hosting nationals over the August long weekend, the Jenny Kyle Cup.
