Canada's national summer sport is lacrosse, which is a team sport that originated in North America. It is believed to have been played by Indigenous peoples for centuries before European colonization. The modern game was developed in the late 19th century and is now played around the world. Lacrosse is a fast-paced game that involves two teams of players using sticks with nets on the end to pass, catch, and shoot a rubber ball into the opposing team's goal.
