Over the weekend, Prince Albert was home to dozens of young lacrosse players from various corners of the province.

A total of 17 teams, across three age groups, took part in the annual Bolt Supply House Classic Lacrosse Tournament. And over three days, there were 36 games played between Steuart Arena and Kinsmen Arena.

The U11 division final was a match up between the Shellbrook Swarm and the Prince Albert Lumberjacks.

The Swarm would emerge the victors, winning 9-8. The Regina Grizzlies took third place.
