The West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association is a Senior B Canadian box lacrosse league. The teams are located in southwest British Columbia. Champions of the league move on to compete for the Presidents Cup, the Canadian National Senior B championship.
History
Founded in 1968 as the Inter-City Lacrosse League. In 1972 Harry George Woolley took over as commissioner, helping the Senior B league take giant strides toward respectability after years of having a reputation for being a men's recreational league. Woolley took drastic measures in changing the structure of the organization by implementing a league agreement, producing league perpetual trophies and crafting a new overall image. Attendance grew from only a half dozen people to several hundred fans during the playoffs. Out of the changes came the newly formed West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association (WCSLA) in 1973.
