Hockey is over.
Your career is not.
Box lacrosse is hockey’s closest relative. Boards, line changes, body checks, play behind the net. Everything you learned on the ice pays off from your very first practice. And instead of the end of your career, the national team could be waiting.
What you bring from hockey
- Reading the game. Moving off the ball, play around the net and power plays work almost the same way.
- Battles. Body checks and fights along the boards are right at home here.
- Line changes. Short, fast shifts, no dragging your feet.
- The locker room. The team spirit you miss after hockey.
- Goalies. A hockey goalie is a treasure in box lacrosse. You have the reflexes, we will sort out the gear.

Isn’t it dangerous?
