Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. Canada announced its roster for the FIL World Championship, naming 24 players that will travel with the team to Israel.

The Canadian Lacrosse Association originally announced it as a 23-man roster, later clarifying to US Lacrosse Magazine that one of the three goalies will be designated as a practice goalie before the games begin. The group includes 10 players who competed on Canada’s gold medal-winning team in 2014, but also features a youth movement with four current collegians — Ohio State’s Tre Leclaire and Cornell’s Jeff Teat among them — and six players who graduated from college in the last two years.

The defending world champion’s status had been in question before the CLA agreed to terms with the National Lacrosse Team Players Association last week.

2. The Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game is a week away, but the buzz is already beginning to build.

Team USA, following a three-day training camp in nearby Foxborough, will play Team MLL next Thursday (7 p.m. ET) at Harvard Stadium in Cambridge, Mass., in a format that has proven to buck the downward trend of midseason showcase events in other professional sports in terms of competitiveness and interest. Twelve of the 30 players named to the MLL team were a part of the U.S. tryout process, including eight who were a part of the training team before it was cut down to a traveling roster of 23 in January. 

It appears ESPN will carry the game in some capacity, according to a tweet Wednesday by analyst Quint Kessenich.

Team USA faces the MLL All-Stars on Thursday June 28 at 7pm from Boston. @CotterESPN @tgeldrid & I will have the call. Details to follow. Always a sensational event.

3. The U.S. U19 women are next. Tryouts for the 2019 team Aug. 10-12 at US Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md., will feature 109 players, including six players that just completed their freshman year of college and an additional 48 who will be freshmen in the fall. The composition of the tryout roster increases the likelihood that the team competing next summer in Peterborough, Ontario, will boast significant college experience — a break from previous U.S. U19 teams that exclusively fielded high school-aged players. The U.S. had won four straight U19 women’s world championships before Canada dethroned it in 2015.

4. Bellarmine has hired Jim Mitchell as its new head men’s lacrosse coach. Mitchell, a former defensive coordinator for the Knights who excelled for the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Rutgers, inherits a Bellarmine team that’s coming off its second straight 4-9 finish and has not finished with a winning record since 2014.
