Burnaby Lakers
Canadian lacrosse club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Burnaby Lakers are a Senior "A" box lacrosse club based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada that play in the Western Lacrosse Association (WLA). They play out of Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Originally based in the neighboring city of Richmond, they moved to Burnaby in 1990. Historically, the Lakers have not been a very successful team. During their 4 years in Richmond, they finished last in 3 of them. In the 33 seasons since they became the Burnaby Lakers, the team has only appeared in 4 WLA championships, none of which they won, and subsequentially have had no Mann Cup success either.
