Excelsiors Lacrosse Legacy Association

Working to promote lacrosse in the City of Brampton while honouring the history of the Excelsiors and ensuring their future.

NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE BELC.

The ELLA is an association of alumni, fans and those who have worked as part of the Brampton Excelsiors, dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the sport and team we have given time, blood and sweat for. We are a completely independent group.

The history of lacrosse is part of the legacy of the Excelsiors. Our national sport needs to be included in our national games.

This is not good enough.

@CanadaGames, you are neglecting tens of thousands of young athletes playing our country's national sport while you receive federal funding.

Lacrosse should have never been excluded from the games in the first place. That needs to end here and now.

The team looks like they are starting to come together!

The crowds at Jr. B games are great to see as well. Let's keep them growing and really cheer on our Excelsiors!!

[Jrbexcelsiors @jrbexcelsiors]

What a battle!!! Excels fall 12-9 to the @JrBNorthmen . Newly acquired offensive player Braedan Lockyer-Fagan scores 5! This weekend the boys hit the road for their next 2 games and head to Akwesasne and Kahnawake territory!

[Brampton Minor Lax @BMLA1943]

Our U11 boys had a good season! Lots of smiles! First time provincials for a good chunk of these guys!

Great season! Hope to see you all back next year!

On Apr. 18 @OntarioLacrosse sent a directive to Doug Luey. Prepare for a 2022 MSL season that MUST include Brampton. The deadline was Apr. 30th. If he did not comply, which clearly with this proposal he did not, they would take over the MSL and suspend Luey for 5 years. So, OLA??

[Excelsiors Lacrosse Legacy Association @ExcelsLegacy]

The BELC released a statement this morning in response to an MSL proposal. @ Brampton, Ontario https://t.co/INfPsgVkST

[Excelsiors Lacrosse Legacy Association @ExcelsLegacy]

@chrissanislo Even beyond the MSL issues, there's now the PLL issues as well...but we still have high hopes of seeing Jeff back in maroon and gold!

[Brampton Excelsiors Lacrosse Club @BELacrosse]

The deadline to register for the BELC's Jeff Teat/Hugh Ward Memorial Gold Tournament is fast approaching! See the details below and get your team in by May 26th!

Clearing up some facts....

@PtboExaminer, I would encourage you to reach out and hear the other side of the this. You clearly have not been given the whole story as there are a number of inaccuracies in this article, which I have summed up following.

[Dr. Mayor Sir Chad T. Douglas National Treasure @Chad_T_Douglas]

First, @ExcelsLegacy did not appeal anything. A ruling on the sale was never made as is required by OLA by-laws. ELLA requested the OLA to not approve the move or sale based on evidence. The wrong OLA group then voted to approve the sale. THIS is what was appealed...

[Excelsiors Lacrosse Legacy Association @ExcelsLegacy]

This has been a long and very up hill battle. We're proud to see the other people who have joined in, supported and taken on the task themselves. We remain cautiously optimistic however. This isn't done until the #BramptonExcelsiors step back on the floor.

[Brampton Excelsiors Lacrosse Club @BELacrosse]

The OLA has issued a directive to ensure that the Major Excelsiors participate in the upcoming @MajorSeriesLax
season.
