Harrow is, at its core, a company of athletes.
Everything we sell has been used by our staff, along
with current and former professional athletes. (Not so
hard when several of your staff members are
professional athletes.) We started the company
because we felt that the needs of athletes were not
being met by the traditional big manufacturer/big
retailer channel. We believe that products and sports
are position specific. We know that performance is
related to confidence and confidence in your
equipment is reflected in your overall attitude toward
the battle you are facing. You won't find Harrow
products in Big Box reatilers. Why? Because we
believe that choosing the right equipment requires the
advice of a teaching professional or specialty
storeowner. It bothers us a lot when we see young
athletes playing with equipment that has the wrong
flex/grip/string/curve/head, etc. You CAN have the
right equipment at a fair price when you need it. Let
us show you how.Visit Harrow Sports at

STX has been the leader in the lacrosse industry for

ONTARIO LACROSSE FESTIVAL THE LARGEST YOUTH LACROSSE EVENT IN NORTH
AMERICA
TORONTO – The Ontario Lacrosse Festival returns for the tenth edition from August 2nd to August 11th
boasting a program status that ranks itself as the largest annual youth lacrosse event in North America.
This summer the Festival welcomes back the Pee Wee, and Midget Lacrosse Championships of Canada
as part of its 10-day celebration of the game. In total the Festival hosts forty-four separate national and
provincial championships in both box and field lacrosse.
This year nearly 472 teams and 10,622 players and coaches are expected to participate in the Festival.
The expanded size of the event sees the use of four municipalities to incorporate all those attending.
Facilities in use for the 2013 Festival are: Iroquois Park, McKinney Arena, and Luther Vipond Arena in
Whitby, Legends Centre in Oshawa, Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex in Clarington, and the Ajax
Community Centre in Ajax.
The Warrior Pee Wee and STX Midget National Championships get underway at 8:00 AM on Sunday,
August 4th following the opening ceremonies at Iroquois Park. Rogers Television returns to broadcast the
championship games of the three national tournaments on Saturday, August 10th from Iroquois Park
Sports Centre, where organizers expect a sold out facility for the ninth consecutive year.
In addition to the indoor tournament competition, an outdoor Festival Fun Zone is on-site providing unique,
engaging and experiential opportunities for Festival fans.
"The Ontario Lacrosse Festival is a ten-day combination of great competition and fun for the entire family",
said Ontario Lacrosse Association President John Doherty.
"The OLA is once again pleased to partner with the Durham Region to deliver first-class facilities for the
excitement and drama of our provincial championship tournaments. On behalf of the OLA, we extend an
invitation to everyone to join us at our annual celebration of the game".
2013 Presenting Sponsors of the Festival are Gait Lacrosse, Harrow Sports, STX Lacrosse, Toronto Rock
Lacrosse Club, Under Armour and Warrior Sports.
