Minor lacrosse teams from across Western Canada and the United States will converge on Coquitlam this week for the Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament.
The event, which gets underway tomorrow (June 2) and will continue until Sunday, will see 28 clubs compete, including three American squads from the U.S. Box Lacrosse Association.
The teams compete in three divisions depending on their age group, with a championship final expected to take place at 8 a.m. Sunday for the peewee category, 10 a.m. for the bantams and noon for the midget teams.
Most Valuable Player awards will go to a member of each team in all 54 games played, with winners receiving two tickets to the Vancouver Stealth of the National Lacrosse Association.
At the end of the tournament, the Trevor Wingrove Most Inspirational Player Award will be presented to a player in each division for quality of play, sportsmanship and inspirational play to teammates.
