So far, eight players have been inked for the season, including returnees Nate Andreas, Tyler Harris, Ryan Preston, Andy Glen, Scott Thcis, Ryan McMichacl, Coady Derks and newcomer Shane Sargcant from the Whitby minor program.

That wasn't the case last year when the lineup was predominantly comprised of first-year players. "I won't have to impress upon the players this is a Jr. B training camp. Last year there were a lot of rookies and I don't think they understood the pressure of playing junior lacrosse. The ones coming back will understand what it takes."

May 4 against Gloucester. Lucy says the team opted for Cobourg because that centre has a new minor lacrosse association, and were gracious gracious hosts to an exhibition game last year between the Green Gaels and Warriors. "We're going to do a little more for them." this season, including a clinic for minor players, he says. The Green Gaels will host Scarborough Scarborough in their first official home outing at the Recreation Complex on Tuesday, May 7. The regular season will consist of 22 games leading up to the start of playoffs July 3.
