The Red Deer Lacrosse Association (RDLA) announced three of its athletes will head to the 2025 Canada Summer Games in August.

Innisfail’s Lac Catudal, Red Deer’s Kian Siemens, and Blackfalds’ Tyrell Strauss were selected to join Team Alberta at the games, which will take place in St. John’s, Newfoundland from Aug. 8-25.

All three players play for the U17A Red Deer Chiefs with Catudal and Siemens officially named to the Alberta roster. Meanwhile, Strauss was selected as an alternate goalie and will train with the team in preparation for the tournament.

“This is an incredible accomplishment for Luc, Kian and Tyrell, and we couldn’t be prouder,” said Amy Cozens, President of the Red Deer Lacrosse Association, in a media release. “To see our athletes recognized on a provincial and national level is a reflection of the dedication these players bring to the game, and the strength of our entire RDLA community.”

The RDLA says the trio earning spots on the Team Alberta is a proud moment for the program and the central Alberta lacrosse community.
