Our U17-1 team made history this year by qualifying for the Ontario Summer Games—one of Ontario's most prestigious youth sports events, bringing together top athletes from across the province in an Olympic-style competition. Not only did they qualify, but they also triumphed, capturing the coveted ‘A’ Division Box Championship—a monumental first for the Gaels! They also delivered an impressive spring field season, bringing home the silver medal in the ‘A’ Division Field Championships. Their accomplishments were recognized by Clarington Council on October 28th, 2024, where they were honoured for representing Clarington and the CMLA with excellence and sportsmanship. We couldn’t be prouder of this team’s dedication and can’t wait to see where their lacrosse journey takes them next. Congratulations, U17-1, on an unforgettable season!
