Ontario Series Lacrosse Arena Series: Eddie Bush Arena

As we draw closer to the start of the season, the Ontario Series Lacrosse League is proud to continue our special weekly feature highlighting the teams that make our league so competitive — and the arenas they call home.

The Collingwood Cruise are quickly becoming one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Ontario Series Lacrosse (OSL), bringing a fast-paced, high-intensity brand of box lacrosse to the heart of the community. With every home game, the Cruise continue to build momentum — and a loyal fan base — inside Eddie Bush Memorial Arena.

Home of the Cruise

Located in the downtown core, Eddie Bush Memorial Arena has long been a cornerstone of Collingwood sport. Each spring, the building undergoes its seasonal transformation — ice out, boards ready — shifting from hockey hub to a battleground for Canada’s national summer sport.

For the Cruise, it’s the perfect home.

The arena’s traditional 200-by-85-foot floor provides an ideal surface for box lacrosse, where speed, precision, and physicality define the game. With seating for approximately 1,200 spectators, fans are never far from the action. The result is an electric, up-close experience where every check rattles the glass and every goal ignites the crowd.

Ontario Series Lacrosse Action

Competing in one of the province’s most competitive senior circuits, the Cruise have already made their presence felt. Matchups against rivals such as the Ennismore James Gang and the Owen Sound North Stars have delivered high-energy, hard-fought contests that showcase the intensity of OSL play.

With a roster built on speed and grit, Collingwood continues to push the pace, making every game a must-watch event for local fans.

A Growing Lacrosse Community

Beyond the senior level, Eddie Bush Arena plays a vital role in developing the sport at the grassroots level. Minor lacrosse programs and youth development initiatives regularly take to the floor, helping to shape the next generation of players in the region.

With the Cruise leading the charge, lacrosse in Collingwood is experiencing a surge in popularity — drawing new fans, inspiring young athletes, and strengthening the town’s connection to the sport.

A Summer Destination for Lacrosse

Whether you’re a lifelong lacrosse supporter or discovering the game for the first time, a night at Eddie Bush Memorial Arena delivers everything the sport has to offer — speed, skill, and non-stop intensity.

As the Collingwood Cruise continue to rise in the Ontario Series Lacrosse ranks, one thing is clear: box lacrosse has found a true home in Collingwood.
