Dan Wray began his coaching history in Lacrosse in the 1988 season in Surrey, coaching kids for six years. Starting with the Mini Tyke division, he worked his way up to Midget before moving to Kelowna. Since his arrival, he’s been a head coach for five years and helped Kelowna Minor Lacrosse increase in size to over 400 athletes, spending many hours in arenas recruiting players. And to make sure they all had teams to play against, he helped start up the Penticton, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and Merritt minor lacrosse leagues.
Dan has run lacrosse in the past three B.C. Summer Games including the 2008 games in Kelowna. He’s also run numerous provincial minor championships and helped move the North Shore Indians Major Lacrosse team to Kelowna.
The general manager of the Rutland Raiders for the past six years and a Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Commissioner for six years as well, he also started the Rutland Senior Raiders and acted as their coach.
Awards he’s earned over the years include Mr. Lacrosse for B.C., three-time winner of the BCLA executive of the year award, and the BCLA President’s award. |
