Box lacrosse is an indoor version of
lacrosse played only in
Canada. It was invented in the 1930s as a way to promote business for
ice hockey arenas, and quickly replaced the traditional field version of the sport in Canada. Since
1935 the competition for the
Mann Cup, Canada's most prestigious lacrosse trophy, has been conducted under box lacrosse rules.
Indoor lacrosse is another, more recent indoor version of the game.
