TJ Cowx (BMS '08) Drafted Professionally; Signs One-Year Contract with NLL's Washington Stealthtop
Earlier this week, the National Lacrosse League’s (NLL) Washington Stealth announced that they have signed former Burnaby Mountain Selects midfielder, TJ Cowx to a one-year contract. Selected 30th overall (Round 4) in this year’s NLL Entry Draft, Cowx will be among 40 players invited to Stealth training camp in December. Cowx is the second BMS product to be drafted professionally by Washington, joining 2009 grad Mike Mallory who was taken 21st overall (Round 3) in 2011.
ILIndoor.com (Inside Lacrosse – ESPN Affiliate), provided a brief history on Cowx in a post on their blog, including a quote from Cowx about being drafted by Washington:
In the fourth round, the Stealth selected left-handed transition player TJ Cowx with the 30th overall selection. Cowx plays his summer lacrosse with the Burnaby Lakers of the Western Lacrosse Association. In his rookie season, he appeared in 17 games and accumulated eight assists. He played three seasons of Junior ‘A’ lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies, where he notched 103 points (27g, 76) in 55 career games. Cowx also played four seasons at NCAA Division II Mars Hill College, where he tallied 59 points (41g, 18a) in his career.
“I’ve watched and been a fan of a lot of the Stealth players while I was playing Junior lacrosse growing up,” said Cowx, a native of Delta, British Columbia. “I’m excited to have the chance to share a locker room with a great group of guys and learn.”

Tyler Kirkby (BMS '12) highlighted in 'Playing for Peace' Tournament News and Analysistop
Inside Lacrosse (ESPN Affiliate) Reporter, Jack Hefferon highlighted recent Burnaby Mountain Selects graduate Tyler Kirkby (BMS '12) in his news and analysis of the ‘Playing for Peace’ Tournament that took place this past Saturday, October 6 at Hales Franciscan High School on the South Side of Chicago. Kirkby, who is entering his freshman season at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky, stood out for the Knights in fall scrimmages versus fellow NCAA Division I squads Detroit Mercy and Notre Dame.
Hefferon wrote: On the offensive end, the Knights got a big boost from freshman Tyler Kirkby. The [Burnaby, BC] native showed a knack for the goal and a blazing underhanded shot, ending the day with four tallies and a handful of assists. Though a bit shorter than most Division I attackmen, [Bellarmine Assistant Coach Jim] Mitchell said Kirkby still has all the tools to succeed at the college level.
“Tyler Kirkby is a small righty attackman, but he’s a real fiery kid. He does things the right way, and does the small things really well, which, even though he’s undersized, puts him in a position to do a lot of good things out there.”

NLL Entry Draft: Hello, My Name Is... Andrew Bromley [BMS '08]top
ABOVE: Former Selects attackman Andrew Bromley (BMS '08) competes for Providence College (NCAA Div. I) versus Syracuse University at the 2011 New England Lacrosse Classic inside Gillette Stadium, home of the NFL's New England Patriots. Bromley graduated from Providence College this past spring with a B.Sc. in Finance and Minor in Economics and is featured by Inside Lacrosse Indoor (ESPN Affiliate) as a prospect for the upcoming 2012 National Lacrosse League (NLL) professional Entry Draft.
By Bob Chavez, Inside Lacrosse (ESPN Affiliate)
Andrew Bromley's [BMS '08] memory of his final NCAA game at Providence will be a fond one. Upsetting No. 11 Villanova was no small task and even though it’s in the past, the lessons taken from that will foster his future. The lesson? Hard work pays off and if there’s anyone who knows hard work in lacrosse, it’s Bromley. He won’t be the biggest guy on the floor, at least in stature. But it’s hard to argue with his work ethic and his hustle. And that’s what he uses to get the job done like he did at Providence, with the Burnaby Mountain Selects and for his 4 seasons of BCJALL lacrosse with the Langley Thunder and Port Coquitlam Saints. It’s a trait he’s hoping will catch the attention of NLL execus at the Oct. 1 entry draft in Toronto.

Burnaby Mountain Selects (BMS) Girl’s High School Elite (Grad 2013/2014/2015) summer touring team travelled to Boston, Massachusetts, July 10-15 to compete at The Northern RISE (July 13-14). The only team in attendance from North of the 49th Parallel, the Selects made history as the first ever Girl’s lacrosse team from Western Canada to attend a field lacrosse tournament on the East Coast of the United States.
The Burnaby Mountain Selects Senior Elite (Grad 2012/2013) summer touring team travelled to Baltimore, Maryland July 16-22, 2012 to compete at the nationally renowned Champ Camp (July 18-21). Teams are selected to compete at Champ Camp by invitation only with an emphasis on assembling the top high school aged club teams in North America. Burnaby Mountain is the only program to be selected from Western Canada in the tournament’s 23 year history with 2012 being the third straight year that the Selects were in attendance. With the Burnaby Mountain Selects once again as the sole Canadian-based squad in attendance, the four-day event featured a total of 66 teams representing 18 States, competing for the coveted Champ Camp National Championship.
After starting the tournament with an overtime loss (6-5) to Group E’s top-ranked Long Island Outlaws (New York) on Day 1, the Selects would stumble through Day 2 posting an 0-3 record and being eliminated from title contention with losses to Tri-State White (New Jersey), Leading Edge (New Jersey) and Celtic Cross (Maryland). Playing arguably the toughest draw of the 4-game seeding round with their opponents going an impressive 13-3 in cross-divisional play, the BMS Seniors would bounce back from the stiff competition to go undefeated on the challenge side of the bracket, boasting a 4-0 record over the remaining Days 3 & 4. Following the slow start, the Selects outscored their opponents 31-16 over the back half of the tournament with wins over Long Island / Maine, Carolina Hilltoppers (North Carolina), HomeGrown Lacrosse (Minnesota) and Team Virginia to improve their overall record to 4-4 (.500). Out of the 66-team tournament field, only just over half of the teams survived the four days of elite competition with an above .500 record, while Dukes Lacrosse Club (Pennsylvania) reclaimed top spot top by winning their sixth Champ Camp National Championship in the last seven years.
In addition to four days of competition, the Selects also took time to tour the campus of 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse National Champion Loyola University, before wrapped up their trip to the east coast with a day in New York, touring Manhattan including a visit to the newly opened September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero and stops at Battery Park, Grand Central Station, Macy’s, Rockefeller Plaza, Times Square and Trump Tower. While in downtown Manhattan, the Selects also drove through New York’s Financial District where they saw New York City Hall and the iconic “Charging Bull” near Wall Street.

The NCAA lacrosse season now heads into its final headlong rush to crown national champions. This edition of “Canadians in the NCAA" focuses on those teams and match-ups where there is a significant Canadian influence to a team in terms of players, coaches or playing style. In terms of Canadian “flavored" teams that could go far, the teams to watch include Denver (Div I Men), Limestone and Mercyhurst (Both Div II Men) Limestone (Div II Women) and RIT (Div III Men). Here’s my brief recap of the key games ahead.

J.P. (Jason) Donville is an award-winning financial analyst who has extensively researched and blogged about Canadian lacrosse.
The past two weeks have witnessed some extremely exciting late season lacrosse games that are having an amazing affect on the probabilities that a team may or may not make the final tournament. With most regular season games now played, teams generally know where they stand and the excitement that comes from this week’s play is centered mainly in the conference championships (where they exist) as the Automatic Qualifier (AQ) represents the only way into the national tournament for many teams. By this time next week, spots in the national tournament will therefore be decided. Regardless, the lacrosse at this time of year is superb as players and coaches fight for the last few spots in the tournament and/or a position on next year’s team. Looking back over the past weeks games, a number of Canadians performed strongly including Matthews, Church, Belton, Buchanan, Neufeld, Oosting, McCormick, Decker, Groothuis, Bowman and Johnston. Here’s my recap of the week that was in the NCAA from a Canadian perspective.

Lacrosse in the Big House!
I’ve never been to a Michigan Wolverines vs. Ohio State Buckeye football game in the Big House (the Wolverines massive stadium) so I sure as heck wasn’t going to miss the first game in NCAA Division I lacrosse history between these two storied rivals. Of course, Michigan is brand new to NCAA lacrosse, but they are not new to running a winning lacrosse program. That said, when these two schools collide in any sport whether it be football, hockey, tiddlywinks and now lacrosse, excuses don’t matter. And so begins lacrosse’s next great rivalry with Ohio State up 1 game to 0. Of course, this rivalry will be no different than the one that exists between say John’s Hopkins and Maryland or Cornell and Princeton; except for one thing. It should quickly become the first significant lacrosse rivalry outside of the US Northeast and that’s great news for college lacrosse!

Then a few days later Catawba beat Florida Southern 7 to 6 with Pecchia making another 17 saves.

Let the second season begin!
Believe it or not the NCAA lacrosse regular season is roughly 70% complete. For most teams, if they are not currently ranked in the top 10 nationally, then their post season chances now rest on conference play and playoffs. Thus, April represents a second season of sorts, a chance for underachieving teams to prove that disappointments earlier in the season were not indicative of what their team is really made of. And of course, what makes this time of year doubly exciting is that the pathway to redemption leads directly through their fiercest rival’s backyard. The past week has been a good one for Canadians playing south of the border, with players such as Boissonneault, Buchanan, Dempster, Campbell, Neufeld, Cudmore, Sheppard, Barnard, Loewen, Oor and Duncan having particularly noteworthy performances. Here is my recap of the week that was in the NCAA.

Hopkins and Mercyhurst are #1 - No Doubt About (aboot) it!
One of the most exciting occurrences in any sports league is when the top teams get an opportunity to play head to head. This of course happens in NCAA lacrosse at the end of the season but during the season it is always exciting to see two top or near top seeds (as determined by the polls) play head to head in mid-season competition. This past weekend saw two such games and both games lived up to the hype. In the first, Johns Hopkins defeated Virginia in overtime while in the second Mercyhurst defeated Dowling 7-6 on the road. These games were of course the proverbial cherries on the top of what was another exciting weekend of NCAA lacrosse. Canadian lacrosse players also made their mark with Donohoe, Quinn, Giourmetakis, Schuss, Neufeld, Boissonneault, Delaney, Thompson, Cowx, Dixon, Oor, Klein, Foote, Acorn and Johnston having particularly strong performances. Here’s my recap of the week that was in the NCAA from a Northerner’s perspective.

Oh Little Team from Bethlehem!
Lehigh is one of the prettiest university campuses in the US and the school enjoys a superb reputation for both scholastic and athletic achievement. But this week it is known in lacrosse circles as the home of the GIANT KILLERS. For those not paying attention, in another week of NCAA lacrosse that saw tons of upsets, unranked Lehigh knocked off both #19 Penn and #4 North Carolina and both wins came on the road. Other upsets included Hofstra’s win over Harvard and Delaware’s victory over Villanova. Several Canadians featured prominently in the headlines this week including Comeau, Noble, Donnelly, MacGrotty, Oosting, Donohoe, Pecchia, Gillespie, Fagan, Oor, Richards and Johnston.

Former Selects Attackman Richard Lachlan named Most Underrated Player in NCAA Div. III by Inside Lacrossetop

Inside Lacrosse (ESPN Affiliate) writer Ty Xanders named former Burnaby Mountain Selects attackman Richard Lachlan (BMS '09) as the Most Underrated Player in NCAA Division III as IL kicked off their 2012 covergage with a list Superlatives and Awards, in addition to other preseason storylines and projected standouts. Click HERE to read the entire article on InsideLacrosse.com
In an earlier IL feature, NCAA DIII Preview 2012: Five Things You Need to Know About Roanoke Xander described Lachlan, who is entering his junior season with the Maroons, as "one of the country's best crease attackmen."
Lachlan was named a preseason NCAA Division III All-American Honorable Mention by Inside Lacrosse in their 2012 Faceoff Yearbook. In 2011, he was voted to the second team in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), while finishing 33rd in NCAA Division III in goals-per-game (2.71). Lachlan earned his first all-conference honor as he lead the ODAC in goals (57), goals-per-game (2.71) and game-winning goals (6), while finishing ranked second in the conference in total points (68) and fifth in points-per-game (3.24). Starting all 21 games for the Maroons last season, he was also named ODAC Player of the Week on April 4. Through two NCAA seasons, the Port Coquitlam native has tallied 95 goals and 20 assists for 115 points in 42 games.
Lachlan played four seasons for the Selects from 2006-2008, travelling to California, Colorado, Maryland, New York and Washington, winning Gold at the 2006 Space Needle Shootout and 2008 World Youth Invitational, placing second at the 2008 Hobart College Team Camp and reaching the Semi-Finals of the 2008 Adrenaline Challenge.
Roanoke enters the 2012 season ranked 2nd in the USILA Preseason Poll. In their opening game, Lachlan scored a game-high 4 goals as the Maroons defeated St. Mary's 12-6

Week 3 of the NCAA lacrosse season has been a blast and while there were not a large number of games played this past weekend there were several exciting upsets. Ohio State’s win over #5 Denver was the highest profile upset but Notre Dame’s win over Duke and Loyola’s win over #19 Delaware were all indicative of the parity that exists in Division I lacrosse. This week also saw the announcement of the Tewaaraton watch list (the long version) as well as several rookies in both men’s and women’s action getting their first noteworthy performances in.

Polar Bear Edition
While much of the north east has been blanketed in cold weather of late, lacrosse season has slowly come to life with a couple of important early season games already in the books. These include Delaware’s upset win over Bucknell and Detroit’s win over Michigan in its inaugural game in Division I. Duke’s Coach Danowski also picked up his 300th career win this week. The women’s schedule is still barely underway but on the men’s side of the ledger, players like Schuss, Houtby, Matisz, Buchanan, Magnan, Leung, Jackson and Keane are showing terrific early season form. Here’s my recap of the week that was in NCAA lacrosse.
What’s going on in Division II men’s lacrosse this year?
Division II lacrosse had a few lopsided wins to start the year but in this edition of “Canadians in the NCAA" we are going to focus on the year ahead. This means we will look at either “teams to watch" with a decidedly Canadian flavor or individual players that should have a high impact in 2012.

Here we go for another year!
It is once again that magical time of the year and that of course means it is lacrosse season. While lacrosse is played all year round in different jurisdictions, it will always be a spring sport to me and spring is just around the corner. And of course, for those of us who just can’t wait until spring has arrived there will always be those teams that for a variety of reasons start their season early. As in past years, the first edition of “Canadians in the NCAA" focuses on Division I. In this respect there has only been one game played on the men’s side and two on women’s but even with this limited schedule players like Keane, Adams, Diachenko, Matthews and Masterton are already making their marks. So here we go for another year!

BMS Notes of Interest
- The Buckeye’s already have Logun Schuss (Delta) in their line-up but what makes this team really exciting is the addition of a superb rookie trio in Reegan Comeault (BMS '10), Turner Evans (Peterborough) and Jesse King (Victoria). Throw in a tough guy like Brock Sorenson (Peterborough) just to keep these guys grounded and you have the makings of one really exciting lacrosse team. This group is young so 2012 may not be their year, but watch out. The Buckeyes are for real!

The Burnaby Mountain Selects (BMS) Senior Elite (Grad 2012) fall touring team travelled to Tampa, Florida December 27 to January 3 to compete at the 2012 NDP Lacrosse - Dicks Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions (Dec. 30-Jan. 1).
More than 60 teams across five divisions descended on Wesley Chapel District Park to compete for the right to be called the NDP National Club Lacrosse Champions. After earning the No. 6 seed with an undefeated record of 2-0 through the Qualifying Round, the Senior Selects would place 8th in the High School Elite Division after being knocked out by a two-goal loss (8-6) in the Quarterfinals by eventual Champion Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) U19 National Team.
Each year, the top club teams in North America must qualify to attend the Dicks Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions. The Burnaby Mountain Senior Selects earned a Directors bid in 2011 based on strength of schedule and record of having advanced to the Championship Tournament at the Champ Camp Invitational in Baltimore, Maryland this past July, one of only 4 teams west of the Mississippi to qualify for the Champ Camp Championship Bracket.

BMS Junior Elite featured on InsideLacrosse.com's Recruiting Roundup of Day 1 at the 2012 Adrenaline Challengetop
Inside Lacrosse (ESPN Affiliate) Assistant Editor, Geoff Shannon features the Burnaby Mountain Selects Junior Elite team as one of the teams who impressed in his news and notes from Day 1 of the Adrenaline Challenge in Del Mar, California:
"The Canadian club apparently struggled in their first game, ending in a tie with Zip-It. But they poured it on in their [third] contest, dropping over 10 goals in the time I saw them today. The attack unit of Spencer Bromley (2013/Earl Marriott Secondary), Kyran Clarke (2013/Terry Fox Secondary) Liam Kircher (2014/Aberdeen Hall Preparatory) and Keir Yonge (2013/Moscrop Secondary) kept hammering the cage. Kircher especially stood out as a finisher inside. Defenseman Aaron Madaisky (2013/Holy Cross High School) and face-off man Reece Callies (2013/Langley Secondary) were also effective, using their size as leverage."
