Nanaimo Timbermen awarded 2018 Presidents Cup tournament
NANAIMO — The 2018 President’s Cup Senior B lacrosse championship is coming to the harbour city.
The Timbermen hosted the event in 1989, and Nanaimo has won the event twice when the team was called the Luckies in 1966 and 1969.
Team Governor Shawn Swanson says the decision to give Nanaimo the 2018 event was made last week.
“We’re extremely happy. It’s really huge for Nanaimo lacrosse. It’s been a stressful seven or eight weeks while we were waiting for the CLA to give approval but it all worked out,” said Swanson.
