The Langley Warriors are a Box Lacrosse team in their fourth year of membership in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association (WCSLA), known as Senior B in British Columbia, Canada.

History

Early in the teams History they struggled to have a full bench and compete with most teams in the league but with time and a growing minor association they will be a top team in years to come.

In the 2012 season the Warriors made some improvements and showed that they could compete with the best teams in the WCSLA but came up short in most of the games finishing with a 3-17 record. In previous years the Warriors were blown out in most games but they showed some fight in 2012 keeping many of the games close and never giving up. In their sixth game of the season (0-5) Langley was able to beat the Valley Rebels who went on to the finals to lose to the Tri City Bandits. On their second trip to Nanaimo with only 8 runners they managed to keep it a close 9-9 game up until the final 5 minutes when the Timbermen scored 2 back to back goals to win. There were many other great games in the 2012 season for The Warriors.

The Warriors originally played their home games on Tuesday nights in Langley at the George Preston Arena, but due to the Vancouver Giants moving to Langley Events Centre for the 2016-17 season, were forced to vacate it in favor of the confines of the Langley Events Centre Fieldhouse, then ultimately the Langley Events Centre Arena Bowl during the 2016 WCSLA playoffs. This was due to the Langley Rivermen moving into and renovating the George Preston Rec Centre for the 2016-17 season.

In 2013 Langley showed the league that they belong and made a run in the playoffs, and had continued sustained success in the WCSLA over the next 3 years. In 2016, the Warriors won it all, as they defeated the Nanaimo Timbermen 3 games to 0 in the WCSLA Finals to claim their first WCSLA Championship Title. While player development was a big part of the victory (with players such as the Poole brothers, Bryan and Ian, and Derek Lowe contributing key minutes and consistent scoring, as well as a defensive mindset held by every player of the team), a key move by Owner and GM Denise Forlin led the Warriors to shore up the goaltending by getting goaltender Tye Belanger, which paid off immensely towards the end of the season and ultimately the playoffs.

Due to their WCSLA Championship in 2016, the Langley Warriors will represent British Columbia at the 2016 Presidents' Cup Tournament in Leduc, Alberta.
