These players were so chill they froze out the competition. Chilly Willy Lacrosse, an Island-based elite travelling team comprised of players throughout the province, won the recent U.S. Box Lacrosse Nationals in San Jose, California.

Perhaps fitting for a former 12-season NBA point-guard, head-coach Mark Price brings his UNC-Charlotte 49ers to the hometown of Steve Nash.

Bob Heyes said after Game 1 of the series between his Victoria Shamrocks and Burnaby Lakers that it would be a war of attrition.

There are days in the Olympics that become etched in the memory. Today could be one of them for several Island athletes.

The Victoria Shamrocks will have an opportunity to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series against the Burnaby Lakers tonight at 6 p.m. at The Q Centre.

Local racers will be tasked with fending off out-of-town invaders as Western Speedway features its annual P&R Truck Centre鈥檚 Daffodil Cup at the Langford raceway tonight and tomorrow.

Maybe the next time a Victoria team wins the regular-season championship, it should just take a knee and defer.

The Victoria Shamrocks were pushed to the limit in Game 1鈥檚 come-from-behind 9-6 victory over the Burnaby Lakers and they expect an even bigger shove in Game 2 tonight at 7:45 at Bill Copeland Arena.
