Pictured above (from left) are: Chris Sargent, Jim Commandant, Jacques Mirreault, Troy Latimer, Steve Bast, Scott Holmes. Absent was Jeff Weddig. Submitted photo Organizers hope to raise about $50,000 for DOVE and several celebrities have pledged their sup- port, including CBC personality Rick Mercer, along with members of the Toronto Rock lacrosse team and the Toronto Argonauts football club. Eyebrows might be raised at the notion of the sometimes-violent sport of lacrosse stepping up to sup- port an anti-violence campaign, but the non-contact masters game has different rules in place that promote safe and fair play. Players arent permitted to hold the ball for longer than five seconds or five steps, allowing for partici- pants of all skill levels to join in. Its a quicker game because you have to move the ball all the time, added Sargent. Yes, its somewhat ironic that lacrosse is involved in this, but the idea is that you leave it on the floor. Violence has no place off the field of play. Masters lacrosse has grown in popularity in the province over the past decade, with 40 about centres now recognized by the Ontario Lacrosse Association. The Rams were founded in the 1990s by Gerald Veltman and now have about 35 players over the age of 21 in the club. Sargent says that new members are welcome to join the Monday night pickup group that has an emphasis on having fun. We actually have an award I give out at the end of the year. Its not called Most Improved Player any more. Its now known as the Least Deteriorated Player. For more info on joining the Rams or to support their participa- tion in the DOVE game, call 905- 877-0665. Continued from pg. 1 Seven local lacrosse players to play in 25-hour match
