Germany vs Ireland Lacrosse: The 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships are set to run from 20-29 September in Utica, New York featuring 133 games across both the men’s and women’s championships. Games will be played at the Utica University Nexus Center, which features three fields, as well as the Adirondack Bank Center which will host both the opening night and the medal matches.
Firewolves head coach Glenn Clark will lead Team Canada, looking to repeat after winning it all in 2019. He will have Firewolves defenseman Nick Chaykowsky on his team, as well as Firewolves forward Alex Simmons as an alternate.
Firewolves defenders Joe Nardella and John Wagner will play for Team USA. Goalie Doug Jamieson and forward Travis Longboat will play for Team Haudenosaunee.
There will also be some former Great Danes playing. Jamieson and Longboat will be joined by Lyle Thompson and Tehoka Nanticoke on Team Haudenosaunee. Former UAlbany goalie Blaze Riorden will play for Team USA.
Beyond the results on the field, this is an opportunity to continue to grow the sport of box lacrosse. “That’s the goal, right? To build this and build the game as much as you can,” said Clark. “This Championship and this opportunity for people to see these games, you have, the NLL has the best players in the world and now it’s just kind of amplified when you’ve got Canada, Haudenosaunee and the U.S. playing in particular, because those rosters are just jam packed with NLL players.”
The 10-day event features 28 nations competing in seven groups of four. All eyes are on Pool A, comprised of the top four finishers — Canada, Haudenosaunee, United States and England — from the 2019 world championship staged on the other side of the continent in Langley, British Columbia.
World Lacrosse hosted the first men's box championship in 2003. Canada has won the gold medal and the Haudenosaunee Nation has claimed silver in all five iterations of the event. The United States, a powerhouse in field lacrosse, hopes to break through for its first trip to the championship game in the box discipline.
The 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships will be broadcast globally through ESPN and WL TV.
ESPN will present 26 games of the dual men’s and women’s championships in the United States. In Canada, the same 26 games will be available on TSN platforms. Additionally, ESPN will extend coverage to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The remaining 107 games will be broadcast on WLTV, which will also carry the 26 ESPN games for all global markets outside of the U.S. and Canada.
The Utica University Nexus Center will serve as the main tournament hub, featuring three playing surfaces within the state-of-the-art, 169,440-square-foot facility. The venue most recently hosted the International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship.
Twenty-seven games (including the Sept. 29 gold medal final) are at the Adirondack Bank Center, the multipurpose home of Utica's AHL and MASL teams.
