Fan Friday - Lacrosse

I am excited to post our first of many Fan Fridays, where we will highlight an underappreciated sport.

Lacrosse is one of North America's oldest organized sports, dating back to 1100 A.D., as a field game or ritual played by First Nations. The history of lacrosse is challenging to trace, for fact often meshes with fiction, and many aspects of the sport's history have been passed on as folklore.

Lacrosse evolved in Canada, with the National Lacrosse Association of Canada being formed in 1867, it was the Dominion of Canada’s first governing body of sport. There is a lot of mythology surrounding lacrosse. Some say parliament made it an official sport in 1867, however, there is no evidence to prove this claim. While there may not have been any official parliamentary record of lacrosse being proclaimed Canada's national sport in 1867, it was arguably the de facto national sport for many decades. Lacrosse was confirmed as Canada’s official summer sport in 1994.
