Allan who grew up just blocks from the park, spent much of his youth playing lacrosse there before building a remarkable career that included four Mann Cup championships as a player, a world championship as head coach of Canada’s national field lacrosse team in 1970 and a Mann Cup title with the Peterborough Lakers as head coach in 1973.
