Local Lacrosse Pro Wins Jacques Richard Award
It wasn’t long ago that 22-year-old Landen Sinfield never imagined he would be recognized as Cornwall’s top sports personality for his success in the National Lacrosse League. The offensive left-hander with the Philadelphia Wings was both honoured and surprised to receive the Cornwall Lions Club’s Jacques Richard Memorial Trophy at the 59th Annual Sports Awards Banquet. Sinfield developed his game through the Cornwall Minor Lacrosse system before moving on to play Junior B lacrosse in Gloucester. He later spent his final junior season with the Akwesasne Thunder, where he enjoyed a breakout campaign, scoring 60 goals and recording 106 points in just 25 games.
