The team is made up of the best local talent. Local stars include Langley players Garrett Billings (2009 WLA Rookie of the year, 2009 WLA 1st team all-star) and Kyle Belton. The Thunder team notables include Joe Bell (New West native, 2009 WLA 1st team all-star goalie & WLA goalie of the year), Rob Van Beek (2009 WLA 2nd team all-star). Other stars include Stephan Leblanc, Mike Grimes, Matt Leveque, Kevin Crosswell, & Alex Turner. The players are employed locally and play the game for the love of the sport & fans.
The Thunder team is built on an exciting offense, stingy tough defense, and a sense of family. The coaching staff (Randy Delmonico, Shaun Springett, & John Wilson) teaches an exciting style of play that has earned them the WLA, BC Lacrosse Coaches Association, and BC Lacrosse Association’s 2009 Coach of the year award.
