Players
editOne of the stars on the team was Edouard "Newsy" Lalonde, lured over by Con Jones to play for the team in 1911. Lalonde was also a big star in ice hockey, and the Vancouver Lacrosse Club also saw other players overlap between the two sports. Ice hockey star Cyclone Taylor played briefly for the club in 1913, and Mickey Ion, referee-in-chief of the professional Pacific Coast Hockey Association, also played on the Vancouver Lacrosse Club.[1]
