The Valley Thunder Lacrosse annual Apple Cup is the largest club/ house box lacrosse tournament in Atlantic Canada, played out of the Kings Mutual Century Centre in Berwick and the Credit Union Centre in Kingston. 2023 will be the 8th annual, and we invite teams to register, come and play, and - most importantly - have fun! The 2023 team application will be available in April.

There are multiple deadlines to meet to stage this tournament: please pay attention to avoid disappointment!
