Ontario is the National Field Lacrosse Champion in the U15 and U18 divisions. They defeated British Columbia in both age groups on Sunday thanks in part to efforts from three Huntsville representatives.<\/p>\n
Caleb Creasor, and Jason Knox played for the U18 squad while Jason Rudge, who is Huntsville District Minor Lacrosse Association president, was the General Manager and Assistant Coach of the U15 team.<\/p>\n
Caleb Creasor recorded a shutout in Ontario\u2019s 17-0 victory over Nova Scotia. He also played in Ontario’s 20-9 win against Saskatchewan and the 28-2 victory against Manitoba. Although the scores were clearly lop-sided, some impressive saves were made.<\/p>\n
Creasor attended a goalie camp at an Elite 100 Field Lacrosse camp at Endicott College in Beverly Massachusetts just outside Boston after making the Ontario team to sharpen his skills.<\/p>\n
Following the strong finish, Knox was named first mid fielder on the First Nations Tournament All Canada team. The honourary squad was picked from all six provincial entries in the tournament.<\/p>\n
The championship final in the U18 division went down to the final minutes where Ontario defeated B.C. 11-8. Ontario established an early 5-1 lead in the first quarter but ran into penalty trouble and B.C. came back to tie the game 7-7 in the third quarter. Ontario scored four more goals in the final period for the win and the National championships. Jason Knox scored once and set up four of the Ontario goals. It was sweet revenge after losing to B.C. in the first game of the tournament 10-6.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
