What is the Canadian Lacrosse League?
The Canadian Lacrosse League (CLL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the establishment of major junior lacrosse in Canada. As a Founding Member Nation of International Indoor Junior Lacrosse (IIJL) the CLL represents Canada at the IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship (WJLC) and all IIJL events.
How is the Canadian Lacrosse League different from other Junor leagues?
The CLL is the only junior league in Canada using the same rules as the National Lacrosse League (NLL).
How are players selected to represent Canada at the World Junior Lacrosse Championship?
The CLL currently holds four (4) Regional Combines each year to identify potential players for the upcoming World Junior Lacrosse Championship and other IIJL events; including but not limited to the Commonwealth Cup and World U17 Lacrosse Championship. The Regional Combines are used by Canada staff to evaluate players on their athleticism, skill, and lacrosse IQ as well as developing relationships.
What if a player can not attend a Regional Combine due to a schedule conflict?
We understand that junior players have many obligations. We value communication and if a player is unable to attend we will keep them in consideration over the course of our Summer Evaluation Period leading up to the World Junior Lacrosse Championship and other IIJL events.
