3rd – 5th place teams = 4 forwards & 2 defencemen

6th place team = 2 forwards & 2 defencemen

All schools are represented. Players will be divided into two teams; Teams will be organized so that players from each school will be on both all-star teams. The goal is to make it fun for the players, along with setting up some mini- rivalries amongst team-mates, as well as keeping the game competitive. At the end of the game, all players will receiver their individual LSSAA All-Star medals, as well as receive pizza and pop in the dressing rooms.

LSSAA LEAGUE INFORMATION

* This is the 22nd season of LSSAA boys high school hockey in Lambton County.

* The league officially began play in the fall of 1986. That first season, the teams were St.Clair, St.Patrick’s, LCCVI, North Lambton, SCITS and Watford.

* From the beginning, the following have been the aims of LSSAA boys hockey;

  - to provide a school-sports type atmosphere for young men to play hockey in, while not making demands on the student which would interfere with academic success.

  - to develop school spirit around a competitive hockey league that promotes healthy competition in Lambton County for this age group of boys.

  - to instil in the athletes a high level of dedication to team, school & sport, while encouraging a high degree of sportsmanship.

  - to provide an opportunity to represent their school and their community with pride in a league that does not have the demands placed on them by OHF teams.

* One of the major rule differences between high school hockey and OMHA hockey, is that fighting is not allowed in high school play.

* Over time, LSSAA has added these two events which are now held annually;

  - The League All-Star Game – Which first began in 1998

  - The Lambton Invitational Tournament – Which first began in 2003, hosted  by SCITS, this past season was hosted by St.Patrick’s.

* Over the years, along with LSSAA league play, league championship teams from Lambton County have gone on to compete at SWOSSAA and OFSAA Championships.

 HISTORY OF THE LSSAA LAMBTON CUP

LSSAA boys high school hockey in Lambton County officially began play in the fall of 1986. The actual Cup traces its roots to Switzerland that same year. In 1986-87, the silver Cup was presented to the St.Clair Boys hockey team at the conclusion of a tour of exhibition games in that country. Brought back to Sarnia, Al Duffy (then a manager of St.Clair hockey) had the cup mounted on its wood base. The cup was presented to the champions of LSSAA boys high school hockey in 1986/87, that first year of LSSAA hockey, to the St.Clair Colts. It was recently refurbished to its current status.
