LACROSSE is the oldest sport in North America

The origin of Lacrosse dates back to the 1400s when the Hyron Indians played it. It got the name from Priest Jean de Brebeuf likened the stick the indians competed with, to the "crosier" carried at religious ceremonies by a bishop. Thus, the namela crosse evolved, and this later became simply "lacrosse." Teams were made up of one hundred to one thousand braves on each side. The goals were usually five-hundred yards to one-half mile apart, but could be several miles. Games lasted over two or three days. The French adopted some crude rules in the 1800's and are now credited for being the forefathers of lacrosse, along with the indians.
