Box Lacrosse is played on a standard sized arena floor and features 6 players (goaltender and five runners) of an 18-20 player team on the floor at one time.

The strategy of Lacrosse is similar to that of basketball, with all five runners involved in the offense and the defense. Added to the appeal are the speed and excitement created by a 30 second shot clock. The combination of action and reaction makes Box as much fun to play as it is to watch.

Box Lacrosse is played almost exclusively in Canada, with annual National Championships occurring at seven levels. The award of the premiere junior (17-21) championship is the Minto Cup, while the best senior players in Canada (over 21) play for the Mann Cup.

There are currently over 47,000 Box players in Canada. Both males and females play this version of Lacrosse and the ages of competition range from 6-65 years.

Hockey Connection

Many greats of the golden era of Hockey were also stars and organizers of Lacrosse. In 1908 Cyclone Taylor was paid almost $2,000 to play Lacrosse for the summer with the New Westminster Salmonbellies. In 1917 Newsy Lalonde made more than $3,000 while playing for Vancouver.

In WWII, Conn Smythe's 30th Light Anti-aircraft Battery, dubbed "The Sportsmen's Battery" included every member of the Mimico Mountaineers who won the 1941 Mann Cup.

Box Lacrosse was created largely at the instigation of Hockey promoters who did not want their arenas to sit idle during the summer months.
