Welcome from your Ownership Team and Board of Directors
Newmarket has always had a proud history of junior teams competing in Canadian sports. However, since the mid-fifties, we have not fielded a Junior lacrosse team despite having a very active and successful Redbirds minor lacrosse program. Through the initiative of Dave Howson, a local Newmarket resident an offer was made to relocate the Scarborough Saints to Newmarket. This team had first begun to play as a junior "B" franchise in 1970. 2008 marks the club's 39th season of play in the OLA Junior ranks. For three years (1993-1995), the Saints participated in the OLA Junior "A" ranks. The organization has twice won the Founders Cup in 1985 and 1992 emblematic of Canadian Junior "B" supremacy. Most recently the Saints participated in the Founders Cup in 2001. Notable graduates of the club still playing prominently in the National Lacrosse League include Shawn Williams, Paddy O'Toole, Cam Woods, Darryl Gibson and Jonas Derks.
The current ownership group is comprised of Earl Rothery, Jack Hurst, Al Masson and Mike Ham. The Board of Directors includes the ownership group plus Paul Thibault, Treasurer, Stew Beatty, the team General Manager and Dave Howson.
We wish to thank the Mayor and Town of Newmarket, our generous sponsors and volunteers for supporting our Newmarket Junior B lacrosse team. Through your continued support we look forward to providing Newmarket and surrounding communities with a competitive and entertaining brand fo lacrosse for many years to come.
