In May of 1967, as a companion to Canada’s Centennial celebrations, Toronto hosted the first men’s world field lacrosse championships.
Players from Oshawa and Peterborough made up the Canadian squad. The tournament also featured teams from Australia, England, and the United States. The Americans triumphed, winning all three of their games and collectively outscoring their opponents by an incredible margin of 58-21. Australia came second, and Canada, with a single victory against England, placed third.
