Tryout dates and locations for 2025 Men's U20 Field Championship Announced
Lacrosse Canada is excited to announce the tryout dates for the 2025 U20 Men’s Field Lacrosse Team, that will be travelling to South Korea to compete in the U20 Men’s Field Lacrosse World Championship. The event takes place July 18-27, 2025, in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, South Korea.
Team Canada has never won a men’s u20 championship, finishing with 7 silver medals and two bronze medals over the 9 tournaments that have been hosted. The most recent event was 2022 in Limerick, Ireland. Where Canada played a strong tournament going 3-1 in the round robin which placed them second in the group. Canada then went on to defeat host Ireland in the quarterfinals by a score of 17-7, and then Australia 19-1 in the semi finals.
These results led to the highly anticipated final with the 9x champion USA. The game was a tightly contested affair that ultimately saw Canada fall by a score of 12-10. Canadian attacker Ross Scott was named the most valuable attacker in the tournament and joined fellow teammates Graydon Hogg and Levi Verch on the All-World first team.
