SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV )– The game of lacrosse goes back centuries, to the earliest people on these lands, the Haudenosaunee. The Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse stands on the ancestral land of the people who first played the game, and for the next few months, the MOST will share lessons of the creator’s game.
“Innovation Station: Lacrosse” looks at how age-old traditions and core values blend with contemporary technology and athleticism to give us the game that has now spread to schoolyards and college campuses across the nation.
“We’ve been playing the game for centuries, so we consider the game to be a gift to the world, as you know,” said Irv Lyons Jr, development director of the MOST. “Now, lacrosse is being played around the world.”
