Where to Play Lacrosse in Alberta

Alberta is box lacrosse country. The Alberta Lacrosse Association runs a deep minor box system through Calgary and Edmonton — where arena availability from the hockey infrastructure keeps floors busy all spring and summer — plus Junior programs that compete nationally and senior men's and women's box leagues. The Calgary Roughnecks give the province an NLL anchor and a steady pipeline of clinics and youth nights. Field lacrosse runs as a fall complement in both cities, and smaller centres from Red Deer to Lethbridge field minor associations of their own.
