Burnaby Minor Lacrosse Club

Looking Ahead  💚🖤

Our club continues to thrive thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers, coaches, and families who share a passion for lacrosse and a commitment to providing a positive, inclusive experience for every player.

All of our coaches are certified through the Canadian Lacrosse Association and actively participate in ongoing training to ensure our athletes receive the highest quality instruction and support. We’re proud to represent Burnaby both locally and provincially, participating in tournaments, events, and community programs that strengthen our connection to the game.

As we look to the 2026 season, our mission remains the same — to provide a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where young athletes can grow both on and off the floor. Through lacrosse, players develop teamwork, confidence, leadership, and lifelong friendships.

Choosing the right sport for your child is an important decision, and we’re here to make it an easy one. At Burnaby Lacrosse, we believe in building not just skilled players, but strong people.

Our players and families are our greatest success stories — many have gone on to compete at the collegiate, provincial, and professional levels, proudly representing Burnaby and the Lakers community wherever they play.

Land Acknowledgement

Lacrosse has been played by Indigenous peoples across North America for hundreds of years, long before it was introduced to settlers. It is deeply intertwined within the history and culture of many Indigenous nations and communities. In Haudenosaunee culture, Tewaarathon (lacrosse) was viewed as a gift from the Creator, acknowledging the Creator’s life forces and honouring the Elders and their nations. Lacrosse was also used to resolve conflicts and restore balance among nations; it was used as a powerful source of physical and spiritual healing. We would like to recognize all the nations across Turtle Island who have shared their knowledge, history, and love of lacrosse.​Specifically, we at Burnaby Minor Lacrosse Association would like to recognize, honour, and respect the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Coast Salish peoples whose traditional territories our community is practicing, playing and living on. As the sport of lacrosse has grown and we travel as guests to other communities to compete,  we would like to recognize among others, our neighbors the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Hwiltsum, and Qayqayt First Nations. The relationship that these nations have with the land is both historic and ongoing.​We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for our players and their families, and to recognizing, respecting, and naming the contributions that Indigenous communities have made to the sport. We strive to recognize the importance of lacrosse in our collective history and honour the traditional game by teaching and instilling the values of respect, sportsmanship, and team spirit.
