Podein25 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Cool. I love the idea of ice lacrosse. Imagine the speed?! I think I'm one of the few people on this forum who have played lacrosse (box). I assume you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada, the game had a slogan (I think it was an official slogan of the Canadian Box Lacrosse Assoc.): "Lacrosse: the fastest game on two feet," which I always liked. I had a licence plate with that on it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
