President’s Cup hosts ex THE STANLEY Cup of Senior B men’s lacrosse is coming to the North Shore. By A.P. McCredie Sports Reporter And hopefully, it will stay here for longer than the Labor Day weekend. - The North Shore Indians of ihe West Coast Senior B Lacrosse League are opening their season this evening in Surrey, with their home-opener going this Friday night at 8 p.m. at the Lonsdale recreation centre. The manager of the team, Frank Baker, is looking to to- night’s game as the first step towards the march to the national championship —~ a feat ac- complished by the Indians in 1985. : As host of the President’s Cup, the Indians are guaranteed a spot in the six-team tournament. Because of this, a number of former players have dusted off their equipment for another shot at playing with the country’s best. Last year the team started the season with 12 players. With the national tournament spot guaran- teed, 29 players tried out this spring. Last season the fndians placed first in league play, but were beaten by Burnaby in the first round of the playoffs. “We had a few injuries and suspensions that really hurt our performance last year,’’ said In- dian coach Lance Baker. The strategy for this season is to get away from the grinding kind of game they played last season, and step up the pace and skill of the game. The team has recruited several high-calibre players to build up the kind of bench depth needed to compete at the national levei. “Since we can guarantee players an opportunity to play in the President's Cup, we've had greater success than in past seasons recruiting the better players,’ said manager Baker. Returning to the Indians are veterans Wayne Baker, Dennis Joseph, and Chuck Martin. Baker and Joseph are perennial team stars dating back to the 1985 President’s Cup victory in Ladner, B.C. The newcomers Baker is coun- ting on to fill out the team include Dwight Maetche and Kirk Young. ds Wednesday, May 5. 1993 - North Shore News - 43 Oran Parra nye NOATH SHORE Indian veteran goalie Dennis Joseph will help lead a strong Senior 8 lacrosse team in quest of the nationzt title, the President's Cup.
