CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. - The season is rolling along for the Nyrstar Midget Ravens lacrosse team.

The young squad was in the Cowichan Valley on Saturday, and had a rough game. In total, there was 45 minutes of penalty time issued (27 for Cowichan, 18 for the Ravens). Final score was 9-1 for Cowichan. Kenny Sweet scored the lone goal for the Ravens.

Game two was a little bit better for the Campbell River-based team. They were at home against the Nanaimo Timbermen.

Goals were scored by Taylor Lysne, Wyatt Surgenor, Jas Thiara and two goals for Kenny Sweet. The Ravens beat the Timbermen 5-3.

Up next are two home games at Strathcona Gardens this Saturday and Sunday. Both games are scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

You have the chance to hit the field and help bring Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League play back to the North Island. Lacrosse coach Rob Gushe says they're looking to bring back the 17 to 21-year-old program that's been inactive for the past 5 years.

He notes if they can get enough players involved, they can re-enter league competition to go up against other leagues across Vancouver Island.

Gushe says practices will all go out of Campbell River but they welcome players from across the North Island. If you're interested, you can see the team at Cedar Elementary School on Wednesday nights between 7-8:30 PM and Robron Field in Campbell River on Thursdays between 6 and 7:00 PM.

You can also contact Liz Billings at (250) 204-4126 for further details.
