The Meridian Centre will play host to a National Lacrosse League game next month.

The Buffalo Bandits and Las Vegas Desert Dogs will be bringing professional lacrosse action to downtown St. Catharines, playing one of their 2026/27 preseason games here on Saturday, November 14 at 7pm.

Proceeds from the game will support a number of local charities and the St. Catharines Junior Athletics organization which runs the city's Junior A and B lacrosse clubs.

A number of former players from the Athletics organization will be representing both teams, including Steve Priolo, Tom Whitty, Tyson Bell, and Nick Damude.
