A great story by Andy Prest of North Shore News about the North Shore Indians coming together after one of their own passed away.
Justin Nordlund was a popular figure around the Squamish Nation Reserve and at Carson Graham Secondary where he played on the football and rugby teams. He died April 10, 2017. The B.C. Coroners Service has not yet determined an official cause of death. Nordlund’s body was found near Lions Gate Bridge, on Squamish Nation territory. He was 16 years old.
The Chief Joe Mathias Centre was packed for the funeral service, including many friends and teammates of the boy they called Jnords. Some of the boys started talking about ways they could honour their friend.
The topic of lacrosse came up. Nordlund counted the game amongst his many team sports, although he hadn’t played in a while. Many of his friends did, however, and at the time of his death they were preparing for the start of the season with the North Shore Indians Intermediate B squad. The prospects for the 2017 season were not looking good. The team had been resurrected by manager Ron Nahanee in 2016 after a few off years, and it did not go well. They won once and tied once, losing all the rest. They struggled to field enough players to complete a full line, let alone a complete lineup, and lost some games by massively lopsided scores.
“I played on the team last year and we had like six or seven guys coming out to each game,” said goalie Brodie Jacobs. “We didn’t win a lot, we didn’t have a good team.”
The Wisconsin Badgers have a former Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse commit as their backup quarterback!
Nagging question: Will QB Alex Hornibrook stay healthy? That is a huge key, since the backup is true freshman Jack Coan, a 6-3, 202-pounder who is a good athlete and turned down a lacrosse scholarship to Notre Dame.
