The first clip is the old Haig bowl in St. Catharines ON. The goalie for the Athletics is none other than Geoff Crane a store employee/friend. The outdoor bowls in St. Catharines and Port Dalhousie are all the old timers (my father included) ever talk about. Hell of a find.
The players I've coached can't quite get their heads 'round the fact that this is what box lacrosse looked like when I started playing. Thanks for posting this.
this makes me want to get my dads old traditional restrung. the leather is a bit...old. youll never see any kids now a days with the word "drug/s" on their jersey. we've come a LONG way ahaha
This is so cool! My uncle Tommy Fagan was the leading scorer for Yale Lacrosse at one time. He actually played against Jim Brown when he played for Syracuse.
Really cool. No helmets and I don't see any cross-checking. Any idea where this was shot? I see oil tanks in the background, and there are St. Catharines Athletics jerseys, Long Branch jerseys and Brampton jerseys. Anyone?
The Canadian Lacrosse Association posted it on their twitter and Facebook earlier today. The link below is to the National film board of Canada. Who probably own the video.
The music reminds me so much of every short made in the 1960's. You comment that you don't know who it belongs to. Briefly at the end it flashes National Film Board of Canada and National Health and Welfare. Here's a link to it on the NFB site. www.nfb.ca/film/lacrosse/

I see a new limited edition throwback jersey idea for uncommon fit. Knaggs Drugs I'd buy it.
Very interesting to see how the game has evolved over the years!
Their shorts are shorter than my boxers!!!!!
Be like Billy. Practice wall ball.
I'd like to see more long sleeve jerseys in lacrosse, not just box.
Go Knagg's Drugs Go! Great find.
I would pay big money for one of those Longbranch Monarchs /Knaggs sweaters!
Agreed. Hello UncommonFit!

Ok, thanks!
Ik it was different back then. But as a goalie seeing the goalies holding their sticks so low tugs on my nerves
Box goalie is still played that way.
Those Castrol jerseys!!! GIMME!!!
So cool!
Awesome
Sick video
Canada ❤️🇨🇦
The blue team has pretty much the same logo as my lacrosse team
The 1965 face off is so different they don't even wrestle for the ball
in box lax you have to pull straight back on the faceoff
Great

There was color back in 65
ALSO, I DONT THINK THE GOALIES KNOW HOW TO BE GOALIES PROPERLY
This is a video created by the National Film Board of Canada. Here's the original.
