GELC Division League Information: Season Information

This season you may notice a change to our division names and age groups, as well as, a change in labeling from "Male/Female" now to "Men/Women".  This may seem strange to you based on the age groups of our athletes, but this change comes with guidance from Lacrosse Canada in promoting inclusiveness.  The term "female" connotes a biological category, while "women" is a whole human person, making it technically a noun.  The Beaumont Raiders are supporting the use of women as an adjective to achieve a more inclusive meaning that emphasizes gender over biological sex.
