Lacrosse is one of the oldest organized sports in North America, with deep Indigenous roots. First played by Indigenous communities as "The Creator’s Game," lacrosse carries a strong cultural and spiritual significance. Today, it remains Canada’s official summer sport and continues to grow in popularity across all levels.

Hear It From The Great One: Wayne Gretzky on Lacrosse
🏒 "Lacrosse was my favorite sport to play other than hockey. It’s fast-paced, high scoring, and it helped develop my eye-hand coordination and balance. It was a big part of my development as a hockey player."
💬 "All the good hockey players seemed to play lacrosse in those days and every one of them learned something from the game to carry over to the other - things athletes can only learn by mixing up the games they play when they are young." - Wayne Gretzky
