WE’RE PROUD TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF ERIK TURNER. A proven competitor with experience at the highest levels of the game and a relentless presence every time he steps on the floor.
Erik has competed in the National Lacrosse League with the Colorado Mammoth and the Las Vegas Desert Dogs, earning recognition for his toughness, skill, and ability to make an impact at the professional level. His dedication to the craft and willingness to battle every shift have made him a respected presence wherever he plays.
A Cornell University alumnus, Erik built his game at one of the most respected programs in collegiate lacrosse, further shaping the high-level IQ, leadership, and professionalism he brings to the sport today.
Beyond the NLL, Erik continues to compete at an elite level with the Coquitlam Adanacs Sr. A, one of the most historic and respected organizations in senior box lacrosse. Representing a program with such a strong tradition speaks to the caliber of player Erik is and the standard he brings to the floor every time he suits up.
But Erik’s impact goes far beyond the leagues he’s played in. He is deeply committed to growing the game and developing the next generation of players in Alberta, Canada. Erik serves as the Director of Player Development for Apex Lacrosse, Technical Director for Posse Lacrosse, and a Director of PacBox All Stars, where he works closely with young athletes to help elevate their skills, mindset, and love for the game.
Through his leadership, mentorship, and passion for lacrosse, Erik has become a true role model in the community and someone young players look up to across Alberta.
From the NLL to Sr. A competition and throughout the lacrosse community, Erik represents everything the game stands for. We’re beyond excited to welcome Erik Turner to the Vanguard family and can’t wait to support him as he continues making an impact both on the floor and in the communities that make this sport so special.
