Jason Crosbie, who had been the team's assistant coach the past couple of seasons, will assume the head coaching duties. Former star player Gavin Prout has joined the organization as an assistant coach and will run the team's offence. Prout played 11 seasons of pro in the National Lacrosse League with various franchises and has known Crosbie for years, having played with and against him. MacArthur will also continue as GM for Brooklin's Ontario Series Lacrosse affiliate, the Oshawa-based Merchants Lacrosse Club, a Senior B squad.

The runners meet three times weekly, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturdays, to train at the Civic in Oshawa. As one mother, Anna Tadros, says of the club, "We personally have seen our daughter grow and flourish in persevering, challenging herself to grow and try new things. Also making new friends and enjoying the outdoors." Any Kids Want To Be Runners?
