Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Sports history museum in New Westminster, Canada.
The Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame is a sports museum in New Westminster that preserves the history of lacrosse across Canada. The collection features equipment, photographs, and personal items from players, coaches, and officials spanning different eras.
The museum was founded in 1965 and began honoring pioneers like William George Beers and Édouard Lalonde starting in 1966. Since then, it has documented the sport's development from its early days to modern times.
The museum highlights how lacrosse has brought together players and builders from across Canadian provinces. You can see how this sport shaped communities and remains important to many people today.
The Hall of Fame is in New Westminster, British Columbia. Induction of new members happens every year, and since 2022 a national selection committee has helped choose them. The 2020 inductees entered in 2021 with the 2021 class after the pandemic cancelled that year's induction dinner.
The Officials category, added for the 2022 induction year, covers on-floor game officials such as referees. That same year a National selection committee replaced the separate Eastern and Western committees, so candidates from parts of the sport the regional panels had overlooked could be considered.
