Red Deer lacrosse athletes set to represent Alberta

A pair of Red Deer Lacrosse Association (RDLA) athletes have been named to the boys Team Alberta U17 field lacrosse roster.

Gavin Roth and Dylan Turner of the U17A Red Deer Chiefs earned the opportunity to represent Alberta at the Alumni Cup set for this summer in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Roth was selected to the official team roster and will serve as an important defensive piece for Alberta. Turner was selected as a red shirt athlete on the roster and will train with the team throughout the season.

“This is a proud moment for the RDLA and a reflection of the incredible dedication these athletes have put into the sport,” said Amy Cozens, President of the Red Deer Lacrosse Association in a media release. “We are committed to developing strong, skilled players through our program and Gavin and Dylan’s selection to Team Alberta shows just how far that commitment can take them. On behalf of our entire lacrosse community, we celebrate this achievement and can’t wait to cheer them on.”
