It'll be a big day at Point Edward Arena Saturday as the Pacers host Alumni Day.
The Jr. B Pacers host Welland at 5pm to cap off the day, that will also include a pair of scrimmages featuring former players earlier in the afternoon.
General Manager Steve Baker says about 70 former Pacers will suit up for a pair of games in the afternoon.
"We have guys coming who played in the 70s and 80s, and some who are a bit more recent. We'll have two scrimmages with the alumni before the junior game," he says.
Baker says most guys jumped at the opportunity to play in an alumni game.
"They are super excited, especially some of the older guys that played in the Point before the team shifted over to Sarnia, so a lot of them are really looking forward to playing some lacrosse in Point Edward again," he says.
Baker says they rented to Optimist Hall next to the arena for after the game. He says there will be live music and festivities going on at the hall throughout the night.
The alumni games will be played at 1pm and 2pm, the Jr. Pacers host Welland at 5pm. The 2-1 Pacers continue their season in Wallaceburg Friday night.
