Local ‘B’ Lacrosse Matches To Require Security

Following an incident during the home opener, new security measures are mandated by the Ontario Lacrosse Association. Also, anyone messing around in the stands will be ejected and banned from all future Hunters home games. During the April 30^th, Junior B match versus the Gloucester Griffins at the Sports Complex, an altercation that started on the floor, escalated to the stands behind the visiting club’s bench the ended with police intervention. As an investigation continues with the OLA, the association is now requiring that the Hunters provide at least 3 identifiable security guards at home matches who will be employed by the club. Failure to confirm the presence of these security guards will result in the game’s postponement at the cost of the Hunters.

The League has not implemented this policy for any other OJBLL teams although they highly encourage the other teams to follow suit.
