Edmonton is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta, situated in the north central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farm land on the prairies.
Edmonton serves as the northern anchor of the "Calgary-Edmonton Corridor" (one of four such regions that, in total, comprise 50% of the Canadian population) and is a staging point for large-scale oilsands projects occurring in the north of the province as well as large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories.
Edmonton is situated at the boundary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transitional area known as aspen parkland.

 SLAM! Sports - Lacrosse - Bowen gets home Rush
When the National Lacrosse League originally looked at coming to Bowen's hometown, he was one of the primary figures in the equation - a longtime player who had actively recruited big-dollar investors to bankroll the endeavour.
Despite being 35, he still plans on bringing his skills to the Rush and not be a token local signing because of his longevity in the local lacrosse community.
Edmonton is likely to trade its second-round pick (14th overall) as part of a pre-arranged deal coming out of the expansion draft.

The newly minted Edmonton Rush signed original Knighthawk Paul Day to be their first Head Coach and General Manager, while the expansion Portland Lumberjax named Derek Keenan, late of the defunct Anaheim Storm, to the same dual post.
Pro lacrosse and pro hockey owners would love to have the kind of US TV exposure and attendant revenues enjoyed by the NFL, NBA or MLB, all of which punish fisticuffs severely, and automatically.

 Lacrosse: Ryan Powell
Ryan Powell, All-Everything attackman, Syracuse legend and lacrosse idol, had found Portland, a true hinterland of sport in many ways, and over 1000 miles away from any NCAA men's varsity lacrosse, to be as much to his liking as he was to theirs.
In the new frontier of lacrosse where previous generations' knowledge of the game is severely limited, it is financially tempting.
Powell's entire income comes from lacrosse, whether it is from the NLL, the MLL, the Brine Lacrosse Company whom he reps for and is sponsored by, or from the Powell Brother's Lacrosse Camps he and his brothers run.

The National Lacrosse League's board of governors voted unanimously on Wednesday to award an expansion franchise to Edmonton for the 2002-2003 season.
There's one condition on the unanimous approval -- an ownership group must be found, and aiming for that, officials from Edmonton's major indoor arena met today with Calgary businessman R. Bruce Stewart and his associates.
Observant NLL fans will recognize Stewart as a repeat bidder, leaving Brad Banister's group shortly before it was awarded a expansion franchise in March 2001 and failing in several separate attempts to purchase the Washington Power and relocate it to Edmonton this past winter.
