Box lacrosse is like field lacrosse, but played inside a hockey rink. The nets are smaller (4 feet by 4 feet) and the goalies take up most of the net with their gear, so scoring takes a lot of skill. Box lacrosse is most popular in Canada with Nationals being held from peewee-junior. All must be a standard length depending on your are division. Box lacrosse differs from field lacrosse not only because it is played in a hockey rink (with no ice) but because there are less people on the floor (5 runners, 1 goalie) and it is faster paced, more hitting and players can move anywhere they wish on the floor.
Someone who is a combination of crazy tough, insanely brave, and very very crazy who is willing, and actually hoping, to step in front of a dense rubber ball that can be traveling near 100mph with nothing but a cup, helmet, stick, gloves, and thin foam chest pad.
Lacrosse Smell is a smell that is earned from playing lacrosse. It is a mix of melted old spice antiperspirant, sweat, blood, mildew, dirt, and piss. It is usually not recognized by someone who plays lacrosse because they are used to it. You can avoid the smell by cleaning yourself and your pads. If you are curious what it smells like go to a boys lacrosse game and hug the players you will understand.

Person 1: wtf is that smell
The most badass position in any sport ever. Goalies in lax regularly have to stop shots travelling in excess of 80mph. The best shooters today can hit the 90's or 100mph, so goalies must have incredible reflexes. They are also wicked badass because they get hit with these shots with almost no padding yet they dont appear to be in any pain at all. Goalies are essential to their teams success. Other lax bros are jealous of us goalies because we have so much skill.
