Waukiigan Shognosh

With the second overall pick in the Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League draft, the Peterborough Junior Lakers selected Walpole Island’s Waukiigan Shognosh.

A goalie, Shognosh played with the Wallaceburg Griffins Midget team last season, as well as on two Team Ontario teams.

Shognosh, who will turn 17 in early February, had a double gold summer, winning gold with Team Ontario at the Canadian under-17 boys’ box championship held in Regina. He also won gold playing for a provincial under-16 team at the North American Indigenous Games in Halifax.

Shognosh, a Grade 11 student at Wallaceburg District Secondary School, has also been an affiliate player with the Wallaceburg Red Devils Junior B team the past two seasons.
