Acton/Georgetown, Friday, August 10, 2007 15 Lyons hopes weekend lacrosse event a stepping stone to playing for Canada Continued from pg. 14 Last week, Team Ontario's under17s took on some under-19 countries that were preparing for the 2007 championships and fared well, beating Germany, Scotland, Wales and New Zealand before dropping a match to England's A division side. One of the goals of this week's Having just turned 14 last month, Georgetown's Casey Lyons has been an offensive terror this year for Brampton's under-19 women's field lacrosse team and was also in top form in Peterborough this week to play for Ontario at an under-17 festival as part of the world junior championships. Photo by Eamonn Maher world tourney in Peterborough is to promote the sport of field lacrosse among younger players. The game has many different rules compared to the more traditional indoor box men's format. Field lacrosse has 10 players per side on a larger playing ground and one of its curious aspects is that the boys wear helmets and the girls don't. "Our sport is about finesse, not force," said Cheryl MacNeill, who twice represented Canada at the World Cup and is one of the organizers this country's first international women's lacrosse event. "There are no pads, so we focus on the finesse of the skills. It's like basketball with sticks." A lacrosse stick has never been far from Lyons' hands since the age of three and she's also a standout for Brampton's AA bantam girls' hockey team. Her dad Gord suited up for Canada's field team at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, won a Mann Cup with Brampton in 1980 and currently serves as president of the Halton Hills Minor Lacrosse Association. Casey has set a goal of earning a scholarship to a major U.S. college for field lacrosse, which is soaring in popularity among NCAA Division I schools. A trip to the 2011 world championships, wherever they may take place, is also on the radar. "Her (Team Ontario) coached told Casey to watch what happens next year, the phone will start to ring off the wall," said mom Cathy Longhurst.
