The Surrey Rebels
would like to thank all of its volunteers, sponsors and
supporters for making its inaugural season in British Columbia
Intermediate Lacrosse League "B" Division a great success.
We were able to recruit a great group of ALL SURREY RESIDENT
players, often had home crowds close to 200 at Cloverdale
Arena, were financial viable, and finished the season with an
11-12-1 record - tied for sixth place in the 12 team league.
We managed to beat out established teams from Port Coquitlam,
Ridge Meadows, North Shore, Burnaby and Vancouver - quite an
accomplishment for an expansion team!
Individual
highlights included Scott O'Coin finishing the season as the
team leader in goals (26) and points (48) - good for 20th in
overall league scoring, Cory Bailey leading the team in
assists (27) and Jeff Geyer finishing second in overall league
goaltending (87.75% save percentage, 6.13 goals against
average in 949 minutes played).
Special thanks go
out to Tim Fielding and Miles Griffiths for their time and
dedication as assistant coaches, Vaughn Easey for being the
best trainer and "holler guy" a team could ask for, Joe Toneff
for raising over $1,500 through sponsorship and a successful
pub night, and Christine Geyer for making sure all bills were
paid without overspending our tight budget. We would
also like to thank Surrey Minor Lacrosse and especially its
2007 President, Beth McLucas, for the unwavering support this
team received throughout the season. Beth was there when
Sandra and I approached the League Chairman back in November
2006 to seek admission to the league, managed to get us great
floor time and recognition at Cloverdale Arena, and was there
as one of our loyal fans when our season ended.
Of course we must
extend a big thanks to our team manager and alternate
governor, Sandra Prance, who kept all of us in line, ensured
we had uniforms for the season, made sure we had off-floor
officials for all home games, proudly sent in all player
registrations and winning game sheets, and made sure the
league commissioner earned every penny of her honorarium!
2007 was a great way to start this franchise and we're looking
ahead to continued success in 2008!
