“We are more than Just an Award Plaque
and pat on the back”

We serve the lacrosse community in the following ways:
We are a dedicated source of information about lacrosse history and we honor those that have played, coached or officiate at a high level or contributed to the growth and development of lacrosse in Minnesota. We are also a source of grant funding for those looking to impact the growth and affordability of the sport in Minnesota

  • We will be starting a “Sticks for Kids” Used Equipment Drive Program. We collect, recycle and store used equipment (helmets, gloves, sticks, pads, balls and goals) and donate them to new programs in need. We are working out details with local lacrosse retailers on timing and logistics. We hope to rol out the program near the end of 2026.

  • We maintain the Annual Hall of Fame Award nominations and selection process with a team of Board, Selection & Voting committee members.

  • We fund awards for those who have inspired others with our Hall of fame. Unsung Hero, Dr. Dan Ninham Indigenous Lacrosse and Art Ayers Grow the Game in Outstate Minnesota awards.

  • We fund a website with MN lacrosse history, a list our HOF inductees, HS Coaches Hall of fame inductees and All-Americans, news, team lists and contacts, and award nomination, volunteer and grants request forms.

  • We maintain social media pages on YouTube, Facebook, Linkedin and Instagram with lacrosse videos, stories, the latest Hall of Fame news, and other great content.

  • We recruit Hall of Fame Team reps to identify areas interested in starting new youth program and make teammates, friends and family aware of our mission, grants and need for funding.

  • We provide the Annual Hall of Fame annual Awards Ceremony in the fall to honor our outstanding inductees..

  • We fund the Annual Officials & Umpires Appreciation & Recruiting Week Campaign (we want to thank and recruit more men and women to wear the stripes)
