The Nanaimo Timbermen added an assistant coach for the upcoming season.
The senior A lacrosse club announced last week that Brian Nikula will join head coach Kaleb Toth and assistant coach Dave Bremner behind the bench in 2016. Nikula is a former No. 1 draft pick and all-star in the Western Lacrosse Association and won a Mann Cup with the New Westminster Salmonbellies.
The Timbermen opened training camp last Thursday. The WLA season starts May 22.
Instead of season tickets, the club is selling packages of 20 tickets, good for any senior A or junior A T-men game, for $135. For information, please call Wayne Hawthornthwaite at 250-751-4582 or e-mail coastmountainconstruction@shaw.ca.
