All seven teams have now released rosters for the 2013 Canadian Lacrosse League (CLax) season. The deadline for rosters to be submitted to the league was Tuesday at 11pm Eastern. At that time, five team rosters were made public: Barrie Blizzard, Brampton Inferno, Durham Turfdogs, Niagara Lock Monsters and Toronto Shooting Stars. The final two teams – the Ohsweken Demons and Iroquois Ironmen – released their rosters on Wednesday night.
Iroquois Ironmen
Chris Attwood, Craig Attwood, Kyle Jamieson, Elijah Printup Jr, Lloyd Chrysler, Chancey Johnson, Blue Hill, Travis Hill, Justin Durston, Jordan Durston, Darcy Powless, Tony Doxator, Wenster Green, Rob Jimmerson, Spencer Hill, Josh Johnson, Justin Gill, Cody Jacobs, Justin Stevens, Tom Montour, Mike Attwood (Goalie), Taseh Nanticoke (Goalie).
Ohsweken Demons
Ian Martin, Clay Hill, Marty Hill, Kraig Maracle, Isaiah Kicknosway, Kris Courtney, Shane Francis, Delby Powless, Kyle Isaacs, Elijah Johns, Joe Maracle, Wayne Van Every, Dan Vyse, Ben Powless, Jesse Johnson, James Mount Pleasant, Stu Hill, Cory Bomberry, Logan Kane, Roger Vyse, Holden Vyse, Randy Johnson (Goalie), Jeff Powless (Goalie).
The Ironmen and Demons clashed in the 2012 Creator’s Cup final where Ohsweken came out victorious 15-10. Playing in CLax last year made history as the clubs became the first ever professional lacrosse team to be comprised of all Native players.
The two teams sent shockwaves through the league just under a month ago when 2012 league Most Outstanding Player Chris Attwood was traded to the Ironmen for Wayne Van Every, Logan Kane and Dan Vyse.
Iroquois and Ohsweken will kick off the 2013 season at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena this coming Saturday (January 12th) at 2pm. Tickets for this game are now available for $12 or a family of four (two adults and two children) can be admitted for $30.
