Left Coast Lacrosse

The biggest news in Nanaimo Lacrosse this week certainly has to be the firing of the WLA T-Men coach Bill Hardy along with Assistant Bob Vink. The pair were replaced by Roger Dubyna and Jim Kipp, respectively. Nanaimo, who’ve averaged 18 goals against in their first three starts only allowed 8 against top placed New Westminster Salmonbellies. Nanaimo did lose the game, only scoring 3 goals.

Dubyna will be seen behind the bench Saturday night (7:00pm - Frank Crane) when the T-Men host the Burnaby Lakers. The Lakers are winless in their 4 starts this year and Nanaimo will be looking for their first win under the new coach.

Saturday night also has the Senior B Timbermen playing (7:30 - NIC) against the New West Capitals. Nanaimo have been on a tear of late, having won their last 2 games and will be looking for their 4th win of the year.

The Jr A Timbermen play home Sunday (5:00pm - NIC) against the Delta Islanders. Delta have only 3 wins and this game should be a win for the local boys - who have been playing very well of late - but this is the first contest between the T-Men and Islanders and any win this season will require a full 60 minute effort. The JrA team does play Saturday night in New West.
