DREW ANDRE

A Pitt Meadows native, Drew will remain close to home as the Burrards scoop up some fine local talent in Andre. Drew is currently playing lacrosse at Lewis University in Illinois.  A Midfielder, Drew has amassed 30 goals and 40 assists during the past three seasons. In the BC Junior A League, Drew spent 3 seasons with the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the remainder of his final season with the Langley Thunder.  With 60 Junior A games under his belt, Drew has netted 32 goals and added 59 assists, for a total of 91 points. Drew Andre is also the son of Burrards Governor & GM, Lance Andre.  Welcome to the Burrards Drew!

ISAAC NGYOU

Ngyou had a busy summer, completing his last year of Junior with the Langley Thunder as they made a push to the Minto Cup, falling to the Victoria Shamrocks.  However, this didn’t mean that lacrosse was over for Isaac as he was presented with the opportunity to help the Sr. A Thunder compete for a Mann Cup in Peterborough Ontario in September. Ngyou, a skilled left handed transition player, was also selected in the NLL Entry draft by the Saskatchewan Rush at 40th overall.
