It was quite the pro lacrosse debut for Haiden Dickson on Friday night.
The Delta Junior “A” Islanders standout scored four times on as many shots in the Calgary Roughnecks 16-11 road win over the San Diego Seals on Friday night. The right-hander opens the scoring at the 4:37 mark and completed his hat trick in the third quarter. He added his fourth in the late stages.
Dickson also chipped in with an assist on Saturday in Calgary’s 8-7 home floor loss to Philadelphia.
The 19-year-old North Delta native was a surprise eighth overall pick by the Roughnecks in September’s NLL Draft. He still has two more years of junior eligibility remaining.
His stock soared after a strong playoff run with the Coquitlam Adanacs. He was traded to the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League powerhouse back in July. His playing rights revert back to Delta in 2020.
Dickson was among the top scorers in the BCJALL last season with 73 points in 20 games, including 50 goals. He added 29 more in 11 post-season games.
