Last year, it expanded to the north. This year, the Prince George Senior Lacrosse Association is pushing its boundaries in a southerly direction.
During the PGSLA's annual general meeting on Sunday, the association voted to accept Quesnel as its sixth member. The vote was 4-1 in favour of adding Quesnel. One team had travel concerns but went along with what the others wanted, said PGSLA commissioner Glen Scott.
In 2011, the Mackenzie Lumberjacks became the league's fifth member.
"I'm really ecstatic and excited," Scott said of Quesnel's addition. "When I got involved with Prince George senior lacrosse many, many years ago, I always had a vision of Mackenzie and Prince George and Quesnel [being in the league]. Eventually it would be nice to have Williams Lake in there as a true central interior lacrosse association, represented by all of those cities. For this to come to fruition is just so gratifying. It's something that the executive and everybody has worked so hard to make happen and now it is happening."
