Jason McClintock, Canadian Waterski AthleteTHE INDEPENDENT & FREE PRESS SPORTS that, you know what, there's hockey in the winter, but there's also lacrosse. And we play soccer, but this is just as fun." Salmon also credited success to the decision to run practices on Sunday afternoons to avoid time conflicts with other sports, especially with soccer, which uses the same field space as the Baby Bulldogs at Trafalgar Sports Park, in Georgetown. "There wasn't anything like this before, growing up," said Craig, coach and parent of Baby Bulldogs Sophie and Chloe. "In order to get the girls going, it's good to have them start to develop. Just the girls on their own, instead of having to play with the boys, right? Starting from grass- roots up." "I think it's been great," Salmon said, regarding the success of the Baby Bulldogs first season. "There's been a lot of positive feedback, the girls have been having a lot of fun with it. It's really started opening the channels for kids coming into lacrosse and knowing there's other things to do." The Baby Bulldogs had 29 girls enrolled for 2015 and the HHMLA will offer the program again starting in the spring of 2016. Continued from page 39 Program had 29 girls on the roster The Akwesasne Indians apparently weren't content just to beat the Halton Hills Bulldogs 12-5 Sunday afternoon and take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-5 Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League East Confer- ence semifinal series. With the outcome decided long before the final minute of the third period and the home team on the power play, Akwesasne's Chris George, in his seventh year of junior, attacked Halton Hills goalie Drayden Patey and the remaining Indians on the floor in- stigated a line brawl, according to Bulldogs' team officials. The 18-year-old Patey was the only Bulldog assessed with a penalty, a fighting major and game misconduct, while George is facing a three-game suspension and Akwesasne's backup goal- tender, Keegan Thomas, was given a game misconduct and could be fined $1,000 for leaving his team's bench to join the brawl. As was the case in game one Saturday evening at the Turtle Dome, the third-seeded Bulldogs trailed 6-1 after the first period, but appeared to find some life in the middle frame on goals by Mitchell Christopher, Adam Charalambides and Owen White, before the Indians pulled away. Game three of the series is set for the Alcott Arena Friday at 8 p.m. and games four and five would be played, if necessary, in Georgetown Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Bulldogs facing 0-2 count vs. Akwesasne Team of the Week Going undefeated through five games, the Halton Hills Bulldogs captured top spot in the novice division at the Super Series minor lacrosse tournament in Hamilton earlier this month, capped with a 7-3 victory over Six Nations in the final.
