Canada Retains Title

The 2007 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship ended with the same result as the inaugural event in 2003, at least in the top three spots. Team Canada won an exciting overtime contest against the Iroquois Nationals 15-14 to retain the title of world champions while the team from the United States beat up on an injury laden team from England winning 17-10 for the bronze medal. With this tournament win, Canada became the first nation to hold both the indoor lacrosse title and the field lacrosse title at the same time (Canada won the 2006 field lacrosse tournament in London, ON last summer). Canada will go for the world lacrosse triple crown in 2008 when the world once again comes to Canada for the under 19 World Lacrosse Championship.

The final standings for the 2007 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship are as follows:

1. Canada
2. Iroquois Nationals
3. United States
4. England
5. Scotland
6. Australia
7. Czech Republic
8. Ireland

Five areas are interested in hosting the 2011 tournament including Ottawa, ON, the Czech Republic, Australia, Iroquois Nationals, and one other country (possibly England).
