The North Perth Outlaws Novice
Lacrosse team recently attended the
Ontario Lacrosse Festival in Whitby
to compete for the Ontario Lacrosse
Association’s Novice “F” Provincial
Championship. The festival is the
largest youth lacrosse festival in
North America with approximately
500 teams and almost 10,000
players participating in various age
groups and divisions during the 10-
day event.
The Outlaws Novice team, which
features several local players, was
riding high after just completing
Zone 8 playoffs, where they went
undefeated in round-robin play.
They narrowly lost the Zone 8 “E”
championship by a score of 4-3
against the Centre Wellington
Mohawks.
After the Bantam Outlaws claimed
the “E” Provincial Championship
the previous weekend, day one of
novice provincials saw the North
Perth team win its first two round-
robin games. They repeated on day
two with two more wins, cruising
into the gold medal game on Sunday
against the Cambridge Chiefs.
The Outlaws were extremely
confident, but the Chiefs weren’t
intimidated as they jumped out to a
4-1 lead after one period of play.
The teams traded goals early in the
second period, but the determined
Outlaws were able to add two more
to narrow the lead to 5-4 going into
the third period. North Perth scored
again to tie things up in the third, but
neither team could cement a victory
in regulation, forcing a 10-minute
overtime period with the game tied
5-5.
The momentum continued to
swing in the favour of the Outlaws,
as they outscored Cambridge 4-1 in
overtime to complete the dramatic
come-from-behind victory 9-6 to
claim the gold medal.
The team members showed
significant improvement over the
course of the season and were
rewarded for all their hard work.

Sports
Huron East, North Huron firefighters compete
Two local teams competed at the
Oshawa Regional FireFit
Competition last week. Squads from
North Huron and Huron East
attended the event on Aug. 25-26.
The competition challenges
firefighters to, in full bunker gear,
complete speed-, skill- and strength-
based challenges mirroring obstacles
firefighters might find in the course
of their duties.
Huron East’s squad included Chris
Gibson, who placed 29th out of 140
men and fourth for volunteer
firefighters with a time of 1:33.99,
and James Yates who finished sixth
for men over 40 with a time of
2:56.58.
North Huron’s competitors
included Amanda Bekkers, who
posted a time of 4:44.61 (51st in the
volunteer category and 19th in the
women’s category), Dan Ryan with
a time of 2:45.46 (43rd in the
volunteer category and 42nd in the
rookie category) and Alain Dery
who ran 2:13.88 placing fifth in the
Over-55 category and 26th in the
volunteer category.
Both squads fielded teams in the
mixed relay race and Gibson and
Yates placed eighth out of 20 teams
in the X3 relay with a time of
1:48.27.
