Presidents Message

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to warmly welcome all our new and returning Wizards Families to the 2025 Season. The Board has been busy preparing for the upcoming season, and we look forward to seeing many familiar faces, and some new ones, around the arenas over the next few weeks.

Our highest priority for all the players in our club is that they have fun. Our commitment to practicing fair play, conducting ourselves with integrity and positivity and to helping our young athletes develop not only their lacrosse skills, but their teamwork and collaboration skills as well, speaks to our values as a club.

The deadline to register for 'A' tryouts is January 30th and the cost is $100.  I suggest that all players interested to register as soon as possible.  There will be 'A' tryouts for U13, U15 and U17 divisions, with some changes to the U17 team formations - information to follow.

'A' tryouts will begin the first week of February.

'B' evaluations will begin the first week of March.

Please follow the link to register:

With the season right around the corner we have lots of updates:

• The Rams are hosting drop-in in sessions every Monday at Servus Place that is open to all clubs.  This is a great way to introduce new players to the game and for returning players to shake the dust off.  Only helmets and gloves are required, sticks are provided if you do not have one.

• Wizards Lacrosse is also offering FREE team building events.  If your child plays hocket/ringette or any other team sport, please see if they would be interested in this great opportunity.  Each team event is a 1-hour practice session ran by our Wizard Coaches.  These sessions will be held in a gym in North Edmonton, only helmet and gloves are required and we would supply the sticks.  This is a great team bonding event.  Also, any teams that do register for the season will receive a discount on their registration.  Please contact president@wizardslacrosse.ca to schedule your event today!
