Syracuse, NY – August 21, 2015 – The Iroquois Nationals announced their official team roster today for the 2015 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championships (WILC). They are also the host team as the World Games will be held at the home of the game: The Onondaga Nation, capital of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois Nationals finished second behind Canada in the 2011 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championships but are on the quest for gold this September. “We are very excited about the national team we have assembled for the 2015 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championships,” said Ansley Jemison, Executive Director of the Iroquois Nationals. “We feel we have a good mixture of both experienced and youthful athletes that will help us take on the many challenges that we are sure to face in the World Games this September. We were also diligent in making sure we had the right combination of players that would truly represent the Iroquois National community without sacrificing talent.” The Games will be played September 18-27th at three venues in and around the Syracuse area: Opening Ceremonies and first tournament matches at the War Memorial Arena; Tournament matches as well as Cultural Festivals and Activities at Onondaga Nation Arena; and Closing Ceremonies and Bronze & Gold Medal Games at the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University on Sunday, September 27th.
