May 30th, 2009 by Lauren Ward

Two out West and one each in Alberta and Ontario in ‘A’ ball, while Ontario Jr. B lacrosse will get busy with seven games starting at 4:00 PM.

B.C. Junior A

New Westminster Salmonbellies at Victoria Shamrocks, 5:00 PM, Bear Mountain Arena

The second-place Shamrocks play host to the third-place Salmonbellies as Lumberjax Matt Yager will look to keep up his high-scoring ways for Victoria, with 40 points so far this season. Eric Lewthwaite leads the Salmonbellies who are hoping to cut down on the 4-point difference in the standings between them and the ‘Rocks.

Langley Thunder at Delta Islanders, 7:30 PM, Ladner Arena

Looking for a little respect, the last place Thunder will be relying on Mitch Dibblee and Scott Davidson to get the job done versus Delta goaltender Blake Duncan. The Langley D will need to shut down Jason Jones, Drew Duncan and tough guy Carlton Schuss.

Ontario Jr. A

Burlington Chiefs at Akwesasne Indians, 8:00 PM, Akwarnaro Arena

Just one game in Ontario Jr. A tonight as one of the top teams in the league the Burlington Chiefs (4-1) will make the trek to Akwesasne to face the 1-5 Indians. Goaltender Gary Muzzin will backstop the Chiefs while out in front it will be Ryan Learn and Kiel Matisz making life tough for the highly-rated Justin Delormier.

Alberta Jr. A

Edmonton Miners at Calgary Mountaineers

It’s the third place Miners vs. the fourth place Mountaineers as last year’s Minto contenders are now toiling at the bottom of the four-team standings. Spencer Lorenz will look to lead the Miners as Tyler Melnyk will do his damnedest to counter for the Mounties.
