The revamped Wallaceburg Lakers open training camp this weekend, kicking off what may be the most important season in the franchise’s history.

Camp will operate Saturday, August 20th form 1-3 and 6-8pm and again Sunday, August 21st with the annual Green and White game at 2pm.

This main camp is by invitation only. You can  contact General Manager Ritch Kanally for further details or to inquire on spots. Ritch can be reached via e-mail at oldkanzz@gmail.com or by phone at 519-792-4423.

Missing the playoffs since 2011, the Lakers have finished in the basement of the former Great Lakes Jr C loop each of the last four years.

The new ownership group, the Byrne-Laus Hockey Corporation has infused financials into the Lakers and are changing the on-ice product, with several new and young additions announced throughout the spring and summer.

The new-look Lakers will be led by captain Colton Coates, a towering d-man who is said to lead by example.

The Lakers will open pre-season play August 24 in Strathroy against the North Middlesex Stars. Wallaceburg’s lone home pre-season exhibition is scheduled for August 27th from Memorial Arena, hosting the Stars.
