Bruce Logan was nominated and received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for
volunteer activities with The CLA and Lacrosse New Brunswick in 2012.
The beginning was in 1969. He and his friends used Javex bottles with the face cut out and screwed to broom handles as lacrosse sticks. His father brought in real sticks from Ontario soon after for the kids to use.
New Brunswick lacrosse took off after that.
In 1972 a Pee Wee Team was developed in Saint John to play against a Nepean Team that was
stopping off in Saint John .This was the first time the game was played competitively in Bruce’s
area.
From 1974- 1979 Logan played in The Maritime Junior Circuit for Saint John, New Brunswick.
New Brunswick teams included Saint John, Sackville , Fredericton, Caraquet, as well as
Charlottetown PEI, Halifax and Dartmouth , Nova Scotia.
During that time he played for Team New Brunswick at the Canada Summer Games in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He went on to play for the Provincial Team at the Founders Cup Tournaments in Sarnia and Montreal from 1978-1980.
On the administrative side of the game, Logan chaired the Lacrosse Sector for the Saint John
Canada Games from 1984-5.
He oversaw the equipment, officials, security, media and disciplinary committees as well as all onsite activities during the event. It would be the last Canada Games that lacrosse was played in until the upcoming Canada Games in Niagara in 2022.
Other highlights include Bruce Logan being part of the organizing committee for The Fundy
Lacrosse Association (650 players in year one), President of Fundy Lacrosse Association for five
years, President of Lacrosse New Brunswick for 9 years, and served as a director on the CLA
board for 8 years where he volunteered for several committees.
He also was Head Coach for the New Brunswick Bantam Girls Team which played in the
inaugural Bantam Girls National Championships in Whitby Ont. He coached Tyke through
Bantam for approx. 10 years. To round things out Logan refereed hundreds of minor league
games.
He was rewarded for his efforts with the 2006-2007 Sport New Brunswick Volunteer Sport
Administrator of the Year Award . Bruce Logan is one of the most notable Maritime builders.
