Clarington Green Gaels ready for postseason
Jun 23, 2009 - 11:55 AM
CLARINGTON -- It's go time.
That's the message Jason Crosbie offered to his Clarington Green Gaels, as they prepare for the 2009 Ontario Lacrosse Association's Jr. B league playoffs.
"You get to a point in the regular season, especially with the way we kind of rolled through, where it gets a little mundane," said Crosbie, referring to the several blowout games his 19-1 team was involved in. "It's not boring, but you want some more excitement."
They received a small taste of that earlier this month in the form of their first and only loss of the season, 4-1 to Newmarket, and Crosbie said after that night, there has been a noticeable difference in how his club has gone about its business, adding that can only mean good things with the postseason on the horizon.

BOWMANVILLE -- These Clarington Green Gaels are good.
Record-breaking good, according to coach Jason Crosbie.
Another trio of dominating wins for the Jr. B lacrosse club has allowed them to zero in on setting a new league record with only four games remaining, one that could see them enter the books as the stingiest defensive team ever.
"We've only given up 55 goals," Crosbie said Monday, a day after a 14-2 win over Huntsville, which closed a three-games in four-day stretch, where they also defeated Cornwall 14-1 and Newmarket 16-3. "We're going to shatter the goals against record, which is 95. We've got four games left against Orillia, Huntsville, Markham and Newmarket. We're going to shatter that record by a huge margin."

Clarington Green Gaels keep on rolling
May 26, 2009 - 02:36 PM
CLARINGTON -- The Clarington Green Gaels are looking pretty stellar at the half-way point.
In fact, they couldn't look any better if they tried as the Green Gaels won another pair of games over the weekend, upping their record to a perfect 10-0 -- the only Ontario Junior B lacrosse league team remaining with an unblemished record.
Sunday's game at Huntsville was a blowout from the start, with the Gaels jumping out to an 8-0 first period lead, and cruising the rest of the way to an 18-1 triumph.
A night earlier, however, they were in tough for the most part against Halton Hills.

Jim Hinkson heads to the hall in Oshawa
May 12, 2009 - 04:38 PM
OSHAWA -- Considering he didn't start playing the sport until he was 19, it's incredible what Jim Hinkson has been able to achieve in lacrosse.
And for that, primarily, he will take his place in the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday, May 27, along with golfer Ryan Hughes, hockey player Gordon Myles, baseball's Andy Stewart and multi-sport builder Fred Whalley...
Hinkson became the answer to a trivia question not long after picking up a stick for the first time, as he scored the first goal in the storied history of the Oshawa Green Gaels.

CLARINGTON -- The Clarington Green Gaels may finally get a good test this week.
It hasn't happened much as of yet for the Green Gaels, who in the course of winning their first six games in the Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior B league, have outscored their opponents 71-21.
Only one of those games saw them break a sweat, an 8-5 decision in the season opener over Markham (5-1-1). Otherwise, the combined record of the other three teams they've faced is 0-15-1...

Clarington opens Jr. B lacrosse season at home ThursdayApr 16, 2009 - 02:26 PM
By Brian McNair
CLARINGTON -- For most teams, going four years without winning a championship is no big deal, expected even.
But for the Clarington Green Gaels, who made winning a Founders Cup national lacrosse title a biennial event from 1998 to 2004, it's an unprecedented drought.
Coach Jason Crosbie hopes the thirst will be quenched once again this summer, however, as he gets ready to lead the team into their Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior B season opener next Thursday at the Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex.
