January 25, 2007 Canadian Lacrosse Association Memo 2007 Jan25 Re: CLA Player Transfers It has been brought to our attention that players are starting to contact teams looking for the possibility of try-outs outside the jurisdiction they were last registered with. As you are aware, teams are not allowed to communicate with players without first receiving written permission from the teams who currently hold the "rights" to the player. Can you please circulate the following to your teams and players and post on your respective fan forums or websites: To Players: Under the new CLA Transfer Policy, Teams are not permitted to communicate with players without first receiving permission from the team who you were last registered with or who has placed you on their negotiation list. If you wish to solicit try-outs from other teams, please ensure to get written permission from your previous team or the team who has placed you on their negotiation list. To Teams: If a player contacts you soliciting a try-out, please inform them they must first provide proof of written permission from the team holding their playing rights before you can speak with them or get the written permission from the team holding the rights to the player yourself. By following this procedure, you should avoid the charge of tampering under the new CLA Transfer Policy.

This award is named in honour of the late Daryl Thompson, former chair of Sport BC, whose contributions to sport as an athlete, coach and executive officer were exemplary. Frank Nielsen, Head Coach of Team Canada Men's Field Lacrosse Team, has been nominated for the Coach of the Year Award. Frank was the bench boss for the 2006 Men's National Field Lacrosse Team that won the ILF World Championships this past July with a monumental 15-10 victory over the United States.

Lastly, WLA all-star athlete Athan Iannucci rounds out the lacrosse nominations and has been nominated for the Harry Jerome Comeback Award. Iannucci competed for the New Westminster Salmonbellies of the WLA the past two seasons after suffering a serious setback with an injury in 2004.
