| 1 | 1968 NLA | 50 Years Ago: The National Lacrosse Asso | article | "In 1968, the National Lacrosse Association
began play. Fifty years ago, box lacrosse had its first truly
international, major league—and the first to actually survive long
enough to crown a champion. Notwithstanding the failures of the 1930s,
the movers and shaker behind the NLA decided that the time was right
for professional box lacrosse, and got to work setting up a circuit. And, consistent with the times, it was mostly about television money." |

| 2 | 1968 NLA | Setting The Stage for the NLA's Debut 50 | article | "Morely
Kells, an advertising executive with some hockey accounts, started the
Toronto Maple Leafs Senior Amateur box lacrosse team in 1966. In short
order, he had dreams of a professional box lacrosse circuit. To that
end, he scheduled a game against the Oshawa Green Gaels, and invited
some NHL executives to the match. Bruce
Norris, owner of the Detroit Red Wings, attended the game and liked
what he saw. He told Kells he was in if there was a pro boxla league,
but only if the other American NHL cities (of which there were four at
the time) would join in. Owners from the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black
Hawks had some interest but would not commit, and the New York Rangers
declined, as the new Madison Square Garden was in the middle of being
built. Norris then agreed that, if the two Canadian NHL teams would at
least join the league, he would enter a Detroit team." |

The league survived to play the next week—which was no small feat, given the performance of the four professional boxla circuits of the 1930s. |

third week of the National Lacrosse Association’s season found the
league still trying to find its footing among a sporting public that was
still in hockey mode, particularly as the Montreal Canadiens had just
finished winning the Stanley Cup in four games decided by one goal
against the expansion St. Louis Blues. The first year of the National
Hockey League’s Great Expansion had been a great success, and the finals
provided a thrilling capstone to the 1968 season. Although the Blues
were swept, the goaltending of Glenn Hall nearly stole the series, and
“Mr. Goalie” became just the second player from a losing team to win the
Conn Smythe Award as playoff MVP. Still, there was box lacrosse to be played…the NLA kept playing it. ) |

last week of May in 1968 found the newly-minted National Lacrosse
Association completing its first month, and already a number of
compelling figures began to emerge. In
keeping with the NLA’s desire to be viewed as “summer hockey,” much
early-season attention was focused on a player considered to be the
league’s Bobby Orr—19 year old phenom Ross Jones of the Detroit
Olympics. On May 25, Jones was in the unique position of leading two
leagues in goal scoring—besides pacing the NLA with 10 goals in 5
games, young Ross was also heading up the Ontario Junior A league with
19 goals in 5 games playing with Detroit’s de facto farm team, the Oshawa Green Gaels. |

| 6 | Other Lacrosse | The Birth of Box Lacrosse | article |
"Here in Philly, box lacrosse has a history that goes back almost 45 years. But what of the game itself? Where does box lacrosse come from? In the United States, field lacrosse remains the dominant version of the game. This was also the case in Canada for decades. Both countries were happy to embrace the game that was called the “little brother of war” by Native Americans, and the sport thrived in North America in the 19th century. In 1931, a new version of the game arrived. “Box lacrosse” was an altered form of the outdoor game, played with fewer men per side on a smaller surface—not coincidentally, often the size of a hockey rink." |

rapid collapse of the American Pro Box Lacrosse League six years earlier and the similar failure of a Midwest league in 1934?
For that matter, why California, which did not have a deep history with
the game at that time?" Mar 26, 2018 Mentioned: Cliff Spring (Doughy) Andy Paull Harry Smith (Jay Silverheels later aka "Tonto") Orillia Terriers New Westminster Adanacs |

| 47 | 1932 | Larry Power notes re Judy Garlow (Punch) scrapbook |
Very little has been known about the beginning of box lacrosse, other than in 1931 and 1932 there was a professional box league in Canada. From Judy 'Punch' Garlow's scrapbook there also must have been a pro league that played in the States in 1932 and 1933 at the very least. In 1932 the Atlantic City Americans played a number of games against American clubs. Was this indeed an organized schedule or were these exhibition games. The pro league continued in 1933 in the States while the Canadian pro league folded in Canada. Mention is made of a pro team from Brampton in 1933 with Ted Large in net but I don't believe Large played for Brampton team in the O.A.L.A. senior A series in 1933. I have to visit with Judy Punch again to get some more questions answered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
