“When you think about the modern era of Lakers lacrosse, Alf Curtis has been there from the very beginning,” said Pete Dalliday, Lakers director of community engagement. “Their support helped lay the foundation for everything this organization has become.”

Members from the Lakers recieved their sponsorship cheque at Alf Curtis last week which included Dalliday, Lakers mascot Teddy and Holden Lowes. Lowes suffered a season-ending injury in training camp last year.

“It was great to be back in the store and see that connection is still so strong,” said Dalliday. “That’s what makes partnerships like this so special — it’s real, it’s lasting, and it means something.”

Founder Alf Curtis passed away last fall, not long after the Lakers’ season came to a close. His wife, June Curtis, remains part of that legacy, with the Curtis family maintaining their strong connection to the team.

Alf Curtis’s support has helped fuel one of the most successful eras in franchise history, including multiple Mann Cup championships, according to Dalliday.

“Alf wasn’t just a sponsor, he truly cared about this team and this community,” he said.
