(LAS) Monday was an exciting day for German box lacrosse as the official roster for the 2015 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship was announced.
Although German box lacrosse clubs like the German Gents and powerhouse Deutschland Adler are no stranger to international competition, this will be the first World Indoor Lacrosse Championship for the country of Germany.
