If all goes according to plan, ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Thunder will open the WLA 2021 season on June 23, playing Coquitlam at the ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Events Centre (Garrett James/ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Events Centre)

ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Thunder action will return to the ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Events Centre in June, in what will be the first game of a scaled-back 2021 season for the Western Lacrosse Association (WLA).

There’s a big if, however.

For it to happen, the league will have to have permission from the Provincial Health Authority, which will depend on how the battle against COVID-19 is going.

If all works out, plans call for a 12-game schedule, down from the traditional 18 games, with each team completing a home-and-home set against the rest of the league.

The Thunder game against Coquitlam is scheduled for June 23 at 7:30 p.m. at ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ Events Centre.

All six Thunder home games will all be played on Wednesday nights.
