Nine Mann Cup championships. 75 years of tradition. The most storied franchise in Canadian lacrosse returns to The Q Centre for 9 home games this summer.
Since 1950, the Victoria Shamrocks have been the heartbeat of lacrosse on Vancouver Island. While every other professional and senior sports team in Victoria has come and gone, the Shamrocks have endured. 75 years. 9 national championships. A community that bleeds green.
"I thought my feet would rise off the floor during the national anthem. After all those years growing up watching Shamrocks lacrosse, all of a sudden I was part of the team."
When Sports Illustrated named the 50 greatest Canadian athletes of the 20th century, two of the three Victoria athletes on the list were Shamrocks: the legendary Gait twins, Paul and Gary. From Archie Browning and Whitey Severson in the 1950s to Kevin Alexander in the 1980s to Jesse King today, the green and white has been worn by some of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
