The Alberta Lacrosse Association is proud to announce its partnership with the Calgary Roughnecks to present the “Roughnecks Lacrosse Literacy.”
“This partnership with ALA gives us an opportunity to continue our impact in and around Calgary, but also allows us to grow provincially as well” said Dustin Edwards, Calgary Roughnecks Business Operations Manager. “We are unique in the fact that we are Alberta’s professional lacrosse team, and the work ALA does around the province will allow for growth of the sport at the grassroots level and introduce the Roughnecks brand to new fans. Growing the sport and getting sticks into kids’ hands is truly what this new partnership is about, and we feel this is a great program to achieve that.”
The Roughnecks will provide support in a number of avenues to help make the youth based program a continued success. Notably, each student will receive a voucher for tickets to attend a roughnecks game in the 2024-2025 regular season.
The Alberta Lacrosse Association looks forward to this partnership and appreciates the support of our province-wide school lacrosse program, which aims to increase participation in and awareness of lacrosse across the province.
