The Huntsville Hawks field lacrosse teams are headed to their respective provincial championships this weekend after finishing their regular season on May 10 and 11.
The Pickett Landscaping U11 Hawks split last weekend’s games. They won the first game 17-15 over Oshawa and lost 15-5 in the second against Mimico.

Stevenson (2), Liadis, Dinner and Moyer found the net in the loss.
“Great passing and ball movement was the key to success in our first game against Oshawa,” says coach Aaron Stevenson. “The Mimico game was very physical and offer lots of opportunity to learn and grow. First time goalie Jasper Collins was solid in goal making numerous acrobatic saves that kept us in the game.”
The U11 season record is 4-5-1 with 104 goals for and 102 goals against. They are ranked 20th in the province. Their top scorers are Liadis with 31 points (23 goals, 8 assists) and Rudge at 29 pts (20 G, 9 A). Several players shared goalie duties.
