The Shamrocks edged the Six Nations Rebels 16-15 in the gold-medal match of the Canadian Lacrosse Association’s Junior ‘B’ National Championship of Canada in Winnipeg.

It was a day of fifth-year players scoring for the Calgary club in their final game as Junior B players. Colby Fraser, the captain, scored four times, Cordell Hastings scored four times — and he was awarded the game’s MVP honour — Dylan Ferrier scored four times — including the game-winner — and Eli Cross and Connor Pupp each scored once.

“I love this team,” said Shamrocks head coach Jason Crook, who took over the job six years ago. “I could not be more proud of the players for the commitment they made. We’ve been waiting 365 days for this opportunity.

“To our fifth years, what a way to end this great relationship we’ve had. To my captain, Colby Fraser, you are the best captain I have ever been around. I’m honoured to coach these players and get to coach alongside some of my best friends. Their commitment to this program is what drives it, and all that time and effort has paid off this week.”
