Tier 1 Timbermen Announce Coaching Staff

The Nanaimo Timbermen are pleased to announce the 2022 coaching staff for the BC Junior Tier 1 team.

Former Junior A Timbermen captain Brett Fleming will serve as head coach this season.

Fleming is an alumni of the Junior A, Senior A and Senior B Timbermen teams and brings a strong sense of pride in the Tmen program and passion for lacrosse in Nanaimo. 

Associate coach Andrew Miller also played for the the Senior A and Senior B teams after both he and Fleming were drafted by the WLA Timbermen in 2015.

Brian Boas also holds the title of associate coach.

He's been instrumental in growing the game in the Harbour City with roles which have included president of Nanaimo Lacrosse and chairperson for the Vancouver Island Lacrosse Commission.

Nanaimo Timbermen president Chris Bowman said adding quality coaches at the developmental level was critical moving forward.

“We are very excited to add a coaching staff of this calibre and experience to the Junior B Tier 1 program. They bring a vast level of knowledge, experience and passion, and will develop these talented young men into the next generation of Junior A and Senior A players.”

The Tier 1 squad finished fourth in the league standings in the shortened 2021 season with a 5-3 record.
