This is a story of family, community, and commitment to success. It’s a story of championships, heartbreaking losses and bench-clearing brawls. It’s an exploration of the deeper meaning behind this Indigenous sport known as the “medicine game.” Through interviews with legends of the sport and rare game footage, discover the rich history of lacrosse, the town of Orangeville and the iconic Northmen.
As the filmmakers and Northmen alumni, we are passionate about this community and this story. This film is a labour of love we hope will resonate far beyond the borders of Orangeville and the lacrosse community.
This is a true underdog tale defined by all those that cared about building something special for their community and its youth. None of the pride, none of the memories, none of the championships exist without the people. The volunteers, the coaches, the trainers, executives, sponsors, parents, fans, and every player that put on a jersey and played this great game with respect and “Northmen grit.”
Please keep an eye on social media as we continue to celebrate our community sponsors.
Tickets at the Opera House website at the end of May. See website for showing times.
