The 2010 minor lacrosse season sees the addition of a new organization, the Parkland Posse to the local sports scene. The Posse will sport the same Vegas Gold and Black jerseys that have become familiar to all local lacrosse fans. For one year the Posse will stay under the West Edmonton Blues organization and for 2011 they will be on their own.
It has taken a while, but the Slash can now be proud that they have helped establish enough interest in the local area that Canada's National Sport will be represented locally. For so many years kids wishing to play minor lacrosse have had to travel 4-6 days a week to Edmonton to play this exciting sport. It was very tough on parents and kids and lead to a large number of drop-outs as parents and kids tired of the 60 km round trip day after day to Edmonton. Now there will be over 100 kids using local arenas daily from April through June.
The Slash will be working hand in hand with the Posse to build sponsors, acquire jerseys and provide coaching and mentorship for this new organization.
