Over the Thanksgiving weekend the senior men's field lacrosse championships took place in Calgary Ablerta. Led by tournament MVP Kevin Moleski, the Ladner Pioneers went undefeated to become the
2008 Senior Men's National Field Lacrosse champions. They handed Coquitlam their only loss of the tournament while earning the Ross Cup. The Victory Cup winners, Black Sheep, went 2-1 in the round robin and lost to Ladner in the semis before defeating London, the lone Ontario team, for the cup. London also went 2-1 in round robin play and lost to Coquitlam in the semis. Calgary's first team won the Victory Trophy by defeating their Alberta rivals from Edmonton.

Not surprisingly, the tournament All-Star team is comprised mostly of Ladner and Coquitlam players with three each. The combatants in the Victory Cup game supplied three players and the Calgary 1 team supplied one. The all-star team: from Ladner, goalie Kevin Moleski, d-man Owen McNabb, and middie Brian Safarik; from Coquitlam, d-man Shayne Bennett, middie Rob Van Beek, and attackman Peter Tellis; from Black Sheep, middie Rajinder Wasson and attackman Jeff Zywicki; from London, d-man Luke Forget; and from Calgary 1, attackman Mark Sherman.

Bermuda Lacrosse surprised some by showing up from out-of-nowhere at the men’s worlds in ‘06. Their U-19 team also turned heads by finishing the tourney with a winning record and Top 10 finish.
