Be Canadian

What does it mean to wear the maple leaf?

In Be Canadian, Episode 3 of Road to Sixes, the focus shifts from the format of the game to the identity behind the jersey. This chapter explores the culture, mentality, and shared traits that define Canadian lacrosse.

From box arenas to field programs across the country, Canadian players are shaped by tight spaces, creativity under pressure, and a deep-rooted pride in collective play. When athletes from the West Coast, Ontario, and everywhere in between come together, the chemistry feels instinctive. The ball moves differently. The defense plays connected. The compete level rises.

But being Canadian goes beyond style of play.

It means embracing grit. Playing selfless. Taking responsibility. Representing something bigger than yourself. It means carrying forward the legacy of those who built the game, while setting the standard for the next generation.

This episode reveals the mindset that fuels Team Canada and the belief that when the red and white is on your chest, you play for more than just yourself.

Because to wear the jersey is one thing.
To Be Canadian is another.
