Picture Connecticut: A Prestigious Lacrosse Tourney

NEW CANAAN, CT — The latest installment of the Picture Connecticut series takes us to a hotbed of the sport — New Canaan — and The Ivy, an annual summer tournament that showcases some of the major club programs on the East Coast and beyond.

The tourney was staged last weekend.

Pictured is a draw between the graduation year 27/28 squads of the Greater Hartford-based 3d Lacrosse New England South club and the Long Island-based Rebels Lacrosse Club.

One team — Tenacity — came from the San Francisco Bay Area. Said one dad, "We wanted to get our first taste f East Coast lacrosse."
