Trevor Bruyere
Tragically on Thursday January 17, 2008 Ivan Trevor Bruyere aged
34 of Sagkeeng First Nation departed from this life.
Trevor graduated from High School in 1990. His love of sports
included lacrosse, hockey, basketball and horseshoes. He will
always be remembered for his positive "go hard or go home
attitude". Trevor was an avid lacrosse player wearing #11 for the
Ojibway Nationals.
A memorial service honouring Trevor's life was held on
Tuesday January 29, 2008 at the Victoria Beach Sports Club.
Trevor was a member of the 1990 Manitoba Provincial Junior Men's
Field Lacrosse team that captured the Gold medal at the National
Championships that year when it was held in Winnipeg and hosted
by the MLA. Upon graduating from the Junior Field program Trevor
moved up to the Provincial Senior Men's Field program. The
Senior Men's team captured the Division 2 National Championship
on three occasions. Trevor was a member of two of those teams
winning the Gold medal twice. He was a member of the Sagkeeng
Ojibway Lacrosse program and was a talented box lacrosse
player as well, having played this version of the game for numerous
years.
Some family and friends have started a Facebook group in memory
of Trevor. The Facebook group is called IN MEMORY OF IVAN
TREVOR BRUYERE #11 OJIBWAY NATIONALS. The group is
looking for lots of photos from former teammates. If people could
assist this group they would be grateful.

Winnipeg Minor Lacrosse/Prairie Lacrosse
League Status
The PLL Board of Directors and the WMLA Executive Committee
have met to discuss the feasibility of creating a new Box Lacrosse
entity that would encompass all Box Lacrosse for the Winnipeg and
surrounding areas.
Both groups have agreed that we should proceed with the
formation of a committee to create a new Constitution and By-Laws
that would become effective for the 2008 season. Individuals from
both groups will be contacted to form this committee. We are
hoping to start this process immediately after the MLA Strategic
Planning session that will be held on March 10th. Once the
committee has formulated the new Constitution & By-Laws the
document would then be brought forward to the MLA Board of
Directors for review and acceptance/approval.
In discussions with the WMLA Executive there was a proposal that
WMLA for a period of one year (2007), integrate the Junior portion
of the PLL under their jurisdiction. This proposal was accepted by
the WMLA group. The WMLA would be responsible for the
registration and collection of funds, all disciplinary action, rules,
scheduling of games and officials and arena rentals. In a nutshell
the Junior group would be added into the WMLA umbrella.
Players that participated in the PLL last year that still have
outstanding debts, are still considered a member in bad
standing until their respective debt is paid to the MLA.
