OTTAWA, Ontario — Team Canada will take the field for the first time with World Lacrosse’s new Sixes model this weekend, October 22-24, at USA Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks, Md.
Sixes, sees six players per team on the field at a time, with 12 total players on a team. Eight-minute running quarters begin with a draw, but goalies will restart play after every goal. Players must be versatile, as they will play both offense and defense and will be subjected to a 30-second shot clock. For more on the rules and regulations of Sixes lacrosse, please refer to World Lacrosse. The fastest game on two feet just got even faster.
Members of the Canadian men’s national field team, led by head coaches John Grant Jr. and Brodie Merrill, will face off in a round-robin against the Iroquois Nationals and Team USA.
The men’s team will be supported by assistant coaches Randy Mearns and Jordan Hall, strength coach Drazen Glisic, GM Eddie Comeau, team coordinator Sean Ferris and equipment manager Terry Rayner.
Tickets are on sale now through USA Lacrosse.
