Mimico Lacrosse Details
In 1931, when the Canadian Lacrosse Association chose the box game as its new form of play, Mimico Lacrosse built an outdoor box at the corner of Royal York and Drummond Street, where the game has been played continuously until today. It was known across the province as the "Drummond Street Bowl" which included a dirt floor, and old railway boxcars for dressing rooms. Outdoor games at night in front of thousands were the norm for our sport in the golden age. The roar of the crowd and the announcer's call of the game could be heard all over town.The Mountaineers brought recognition to the town more than any other sports team with Mann Cup wins in 1932 and 1942, and Eastern Canadian Senior titles in 1943 and 1947. In WWII, Conn Smythe's 30th Light Anti-aircraft Battery, dubbed "The Sportsmen's Battery" included every member of the Mimico Mountaineers who won the 1942 Mann Cup. Minto Cup victories were recorded in 1938 and 1951, with Eastern Canadian supremacy logged in 1941 and 1946. Mimico Lacrosse continues to enjoy much success, as one of the largest associations in Ontario with a thriving houseleague box program and two rep box teams at each age division. Mimico's field program has grown rapidly over the past few seasons, with two teams per division in the spring season, fall field and the introduction of the women's field lacrosse program in 2010. Mimico Lacrosse today owes so much to those that came before and laid the foundation for 125 years of memories. There are so many great players, coaches, volunteers and builders of the game from our community, who contributed at the provincial and national level, and each has their own story. Some of these greats have been recognized with inclusion into the Canadian and Ontario Lacrosse Halls of Fame. We appreciate their contribution and we hope that we honour them with the Mimico Lacrosse Club as it stands today.
