"Jess Lee, coach of the Lady Blue Knights Lacrosse Association JEWL team, deserves the Coach of the Year award for her exceptional dedication, expertise, and leadership in women’s field lacrosse.

Jess exemplifies passion and hard work, traits that resonate deeply in her coaching style. Her commitment to the sport is evident in her meticulous approach to training and game strategies, ensuring that her athletes are not only skilled, but also mentally prepared to excel. Jess treats her players with utmost respect and kindness while also challenging them to surpass their limits, fostering a supportive yet ambitious team environment.

Under Jess's guidance, the team has achieved remarkable success. Last season, they maintained an undefeated record, showcasing Jess's ability to inspire consistent performance and teamwork. This year, they continue to dominate the regular season, a testament to her effective coaching methods and the strong foundation she has built within the team.

Beyond individual achievements, Jess plays a pivotal role in the broader development of lacrosse within the Blue Knights organization. She actively mentors other coaches, sharing her knowledge and experience to elevate the entire club. Jess promotes a culture of collaboration among coaches, enhancing the club’s coaching standards and fostering continuous improvement year after year. 

Not to mention Jess creating the Knights Cup inaugural tournament this season for all of the OWFL U19 athletes to benefit in a tournament style day, and experience what comes with cross border tournaments right here at home. Jess went above and beyond inviting OUA and NCAA coaches to this event. Knowing this event will expand every year is a true testament to Jess and her building the sport of women’s field beyond just LBK. 

Coach Jess’s impact extends beyond wins and losses; it encompasses the holistic growth of her players and the enduring legacy she builds within the Lady Blue Knights community. Her combination of passion, leadership, and strategic acumen makes her a deserving candidate for the Coach of the Year award, recognizing her as a driving force behind the Lady Blue Knights' success and a role model for coaches everywhere."

LBK is incredibly fortunate to have Jess Lee as a coach and leader within the Association and Ontario Lacrosse.
