The road to the nationals began back in February. Forty-five players tried out for the provincial all-stars, but only 17 get to wear the New Brunswick jersey next week. The selection process here is much different compared to other provinces, said MacDougall, adding there are 45,000 peewee lacrosse players in Ontario. Still, many of the New Brunswickers had a firm hold on their lacrosse sticks at an early age.
"I would say almost all the kids on our team have played since they were four or five years old," MacDougall said. "The difference is in the level of competition they get."
MacDougall said traditional powerhouses include defending-champion Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and the Iroquois Nationals, a Native program with a rich history that was featured in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated. Other entries include Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec.
"The good teams operate as a five-man unit," MacDougall said. "They move the ball really well and run some sophisticated systems for 11- and 12-year-olds.
