For the past two seasons, the Moose Jaw Minor Lacrosse Association simply found a way to play the game.
In the first summer of the pandemic, with arenas throughout the province shuttered and the indoor box version of the game pushed to the sidelines, that meant a renewed focus on field lacrosse. The Moose Jaw Mustangs took to the 1996 Summer Games Park to familiarize and re-familiarize themselves with the sport, with a series of exhibition games with Queen City Lacrosse keeping the game alive in the city.
It was almost back to normal in the summer of 2021 -- box league games were regular, if restriction-filled, occurrences at the Kinsmen Arena, the field teams were back in action, and things rolled along almost as if COVID-19 was a thing of the past.
This summer, it will be.
And with that, it’s full steam ahead for MJLAX.
The organization is currently taking registration across all age groups and in both divisions for the coming campaign, which traditionally begins in April and runs until the end of June.
Fees for the six-and-under and eight-and-under divisions are $100 / $125, with the season including a combination of box and field lacrosse to build on the past two seasons and continue to grow booth indoor and outdoor versions of the sport.
Field fees for 10U and 12U are $80 each and $100 for 14U and 16U.
The popular box version -- featuring the perennial league- and provincial-championship contending Mustangs -- includes a $275 fee for the 10U and 12U divisions, $325 for the 14U and 16U age classes.
