For all intents and purposes, let’s just agree to say 2015 was a simpler time. The World Indoor Lacrosse Championships were being hosted by the Haudenosaunee and the games were being played between two locations on the Onondaga Nation territory and the big seat-fillers were in Syracuse. Canada was undefeated in WILC play. The Iroquois Nationals had a lot to prove. It was lacrosse-perfect.
From September 15th through the 27th, 13 teams from around the world duked it out to be crowned champion. It all came down to one game (as tournaments usually do) and, in typical WILC fashion, it was Canada and the Iroquois Nationals squaring off in the big finale. Canada practically strolled through the week undefeated at 5-0, while the only loss suffered by the Iroquois came at the hands of the Canadians in group play, 11-9.
The gold medal game moved over to Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome and a temporary board system was brought in. It was one of the more unique atmospheres for a box lacrosse game that the LaxAllStars crew has ever been a part of. How about you relive it with us?
