5/27 Sectional Opener and Mike Pane Night
(05/26/10) Thursday 5/27, at 7pm Canandaigua Boys Lacrosse will open their sectional title defense run with a home game on Exhibition Field at the Academy against Spencerport. The Braves (15-1) are the Class B #1 seed while the Spencerport Rangers (9-8) are a #8 seed and won their play-in game on Tuesday against Eastridge 14-3.
More importantly, the game will also be dedicated to Mike Pane. Mike is a 2004 graduate of Canandaigua Academy and Canandaigua Lacrosse and played at Binghamton University. He was an assistant varsity coach for the Braves last year for their state championship run and this year was the head JV coach at Gananda. Mike is a great guy and relates well with the kids. Mike underwent brain surgery yesterday and had a tumor removed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike and the Pane family as he recovers.
At Mike Pane Night we will be collecting money to help the Pane family with the huge expenses they are about to face. Donations of any amount will be accepted at the concession stand and proceeds from the concession stand sales will be donated as well. Checks can be made out to “CASB – Boys Lacrosse” (Memo: Mike Pane Fund). Or if you’d like to donate by credit card we have established the ability by clicking on Mike Pane Fund.
Come on out to support the Varsity in their last appearance on Canandaigua turf and to support Mike Pane.

Canandaigua Lacrosse donates to the Golisano Children's Hospital
This past season Canandaigua Lacrosse introduced a new tradition - "The Shirt". "The Shirt" is designed to incorporate the upcoming season's theme and meant to motivate and bring together all of Canandaigua Lacrosse. Every player and coach from K-12 is given "The Shirt" in March by the Booster Club. "The Shirt" is then made available as a fundraiser for a local charity. This year Golisano Children's Hospital was chosen and supporters of Canandaigua Lacrosse were able to raise and donate $250 from the proceeds of "The Shirt" sales. We still have a limited quantity of "The Shirt" available - now modified by the addition of "NY State Champion". If you would like to purchase one please contact Pam Helming. Canandaigua Lacrosse thanks the community for the support of this effort!
