Lacrosse Canada Welcomes Ashley Bull Onto Staff
Lacrosse Canada is proud to announce Ashley Bull as our new High Performance Coordinator. Ashley has a long history in lacrosse and we are excited to have her on board.
Ashley grew up in Langley, BC where she played both boy’s box lacrosse and boy’s field. After competing with the boys for many years, Ashley moved to the girls box lacrosse program in New Westminster in 2007. She also was introduced to women’s field lacrosse in 2007, a sport that has and continues to open doors for her.
Ashley immediately showed a high level of skill in the field game, and her hard work landed her a scholarship at Canisius in Buffalo, NY.
