Junior A Timbermen scouting fresh talent for 2024 BCJALL entry draft
NANAIMO — The junior box lacrosse season is still more than four months away but the first steps to retooling rosters for the Nanaimo Timbermen are taken at the BCJALL junior draft.
The six-round draft goes on Saturday, Jan. 13 in Langley.
Timbermen president Chris Bowman said although there may be players talented enough to play Junior A, he’s searching for players ready to play at the Junior B Tier 1 level.
“Not a lot of the kids will make the jump to Junior A right away. The goal of the program is to add some high-quality kids to the B1 team that graduate to Junior A players after one to three years and then hopefully on to the Senior A program.”
