Welcome to Lakers Football

Football was re-introduced to the community of Sylvan Lake in 1997 with the H.J. Cody Lakers Football Team. The team is comprised of athletes in Grades 10 through 12. After a few years of growing pains the Lakers have forged themselves into one of the most celebrated programs in Central Alberta. Having won 4 League Championships, the success of our program is explained quite simply. We expect to Win. It is not a win at all costs attitude, but rather, through preparation and hard work that we believe in our ability to overcome our opponents. It is this attitude that we feel is important to impart to all of our players to make them successful both on and off the football field. “We Don’t Play to Win… We Practice to Win!”

Coach's Message:

2019 is looking like a very good season for the Lakers. There is a nice mix of experience vets and talented rookies. With 41 players in camp they will have depth at most positions. Look for a balanced offence of both run and pass. Warren-Stewart-Brown will carry the load on the ground while the Bylsma brothers will be slinging it through the air. There is a talented group of receivers and o-linemen. Look for an aggressive defence with Teej Johannesson as the new defensive coordinator. Fans, please be loud and proud but also respectful of refs and opponents. Let's go Lakers.
