Add article description

The Brooklin Lacrosse Club is a box lacrosse team from Brooklin, Ontario.[1][2] Brooklin plays in the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) league (formerly known as Senior "A"). The MSL, and its counterpart, the Western Lacrosse Association, represent the highest level of competitive box lacrosse in Canada. Both league champions compete each September for the Mann Cup, one of the most historic and treasured sports trophies in Canada.

Quick Facts Sport, Founded ...

Throughout team history, the Brooklin Lacrosse Club has always been a community based team that represents the best box lacrosse players from Brooklin, Whitby, Durham and nearby regions. The lacrosse club is a non-profit, volunteer operated organization.

The team was formerly known as the Brooklin Redmen, a name the team had held since 1966. On April 20, 2019, the team released a statement that it would be dropping the "Redmen" as the team name owing to a growing sensitivity to the use of Aboriginal people as logos and names for sports teams.[3][4]
